CHAP. III.

The Temple of the Lord, and the porche are buylded, with other things thereto belonging.

1 SO * Salomōn begā to buyld the house of the Lord in Ierusalém, in mounta Mo∣riáh whiche had bene declared vnto Dauid his father, in the place that Dauid prepa∣red in the thresshing floore of * Ornā the Iebusite.

2 And he began to buyld in the secóde mo∣neth (&) the seconde day, in the fourtyere of his reigne.

3 And these are the (measures, whereon) Sa∣lomón groūded to build the house of God: the length of cubites after the firstb mea∣sure (was) threscore cubites, & the breadth twenty cubites:

4 And the porche, that was before the lēgth in the frontec of the breadth (was) twētie cubites, and the height (was) and hundreth and twentie, and he ouerlaied it within with pure golde.

5 And the greater househe syled with firre tree which he ouerlaied with good golde, & graued thereon palmetrees & chaines.

6 And he ouerlaied the house with precious stone for beautie: & the golde (was) golde ofe Paruáim.

7 The house, I say, the beames, postes, and walles thereof and the doores thereof o∣urelaied he with golde, and graued Cheru∣bims vpon the walles.

8 ¶ He made also the house of the mostholy place: the length thereof (was) in the frōte of the breadth of the house, twentie cubi∣tes & he ouerlaied it with the best golde, of six hundreth talents.

9 And the weight of the nailes (was) fiftie shekels of golde, and he ouerlaied the chā∣bers with golde.

10 ¶ And in the house of the most holy place he made two Cherubims wroght like chil dren, and ouerlaied them with golde.

11 * And the wings of the Cherubims (were) twentie cubites long: the one wing (was) fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, & the other wing fiue cubites, rea∣ching to the wing of the other Cherúb.

12 Likewise the wing of the other Cherúb was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, & the otherwing fiue cubites ioy ning to the wing of the other Cherúb.

13 The wings of these Cherubims were spred abroad twētie cubites: they stode on their fete & their faces (were) toward the house.

14 ¶ He made alsof the vaile of blewe silke & purple, and crimosin, and fine linen, and wroght Cherubims thereon.

15 ¶ And he made before the house two pil∣lersg of fiue and thirtie cubites hie: and the chapiter that was vpon the top of (eche) of them, (was) fiue cubites.

16 He made also chaines for the oracle, and put them on the heades of the pillers, and made anh hundreth pomegranates, & put them among the chaines.

17 And he set vp the pillers before the Tēple, one on the right hand & the other on the left, and called that on the right hand Ia∣chin, and that on the left hand Bóaz.
