1But Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 2He built also the house of the forest of L’vanon [Whiteness]; the length thereof [was] an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. 3And [it was] covered with cedar above upon the beams, that [lay] on forty five pillars, fifteen [in] a row. 4And [there were] windows [in] three rows, and light [was] against light [in] three ranks. 5And all the doors and posts [were] square, with the windows: and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.

6And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch [was] before them: and the [other] pillars and the thick beam [were] before them.

7Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, [even] the porch of judgment: and [it was] covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

8And his house where he dwelt [had] another court within the porch, [which] was of the like work. Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] made also an house for Par’oh’s [Pharaoh - Great House] daughter, whom he had taken [to wife], like unto this porch.

9All these [were of] costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping (top of a wall, sloped to drain off water), and [so] on the outside toward the great court.

10And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 11And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. 12And the great court round about [was] with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and for the porch of the house.

13And king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] sent and fetched Hiram [noble] out of Tzor [a rock]. 14He [was] a widow's son of the tribe of Naftali [My Wrestling], and his father [was] a man of Tzor [a rock], a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], and wrought all his work.

15For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass (go around, encircle; encompass) either of them about. 16And he made two columns [of] molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one column [was] five cubits, and the height of the other column [was] five cubits: 17[And] nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the columns which [were] upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one column, and seven for the other column. 18And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the columns that [were] upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other column. 19And the columns that [were] upon the top of the pillars [were] of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 20And the columns upon the two pillars [had pomegranates] also above, over against the belly which [was] by the network: and the pomegranates [were] two hundred in rows round about upon the other column. 21And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Yakhin [He will establish]: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Bo’az [a high rate of movement]. 22And upon the top of the pillars [was] lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

23And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: [it was] round all about, and his height [was] five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass (go around, encircle; encompass) it round about. 24And under the brim of it round about [there were] knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops [were] cast in two rows, when it was cast. 25It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea [was set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward. 26And it [was] an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.

27And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits [was] the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 28And the work of the bases [was] on this [manner]: they had borders, and the borders [were] between the ledges: 29And on the borders that [were] between the ledges [were] lions, oxen, and k’vurim (cherubim): and upon the ledges [there was] a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen [were] certain additions made of thin work. 30And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had supports: under the Wash basin [were] supports molten, at the side of every addition. 31And the mouth of it within the column and above [was] a cubit: but the mouth thereof [was] round [after] the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it [were] gravings with their borders, Foursquare (squared; four cornered), not round. 32And under the borders [were] four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels [were joined] to the base: and the height of a wheel [was] a cubit and half a cubit. 33And the work of the wheels [was] like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, [were] all molten. 34And [there were] four supports to the four corners of one base: [and] the supports [were] of the very base itself. 35And in the top of the base [was there] a round compass (go around, encircle; encompass) of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof [were] of the same. 36For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved k’vurim (cherubim), lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of everyone, and additions round about. 37After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, [and] one size.

38Then made he ten lavers of brass: one Wash basin contained forty baths: [and] every Wash basin was four cubits: [and] upon everyone of the ten bases one Wash basin. 39And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.

40And Hiram [noble] made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram [noble] made an end of doing all the work that he made king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] for the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): 41The two pillars, and the [two] bowls of the columns that [were] on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the columns which [were] upon the top of the pillars; 42And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, [even] two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the columns that [were] upon the pillars; 43And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 44And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 45And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels, which Hiram [noble] made to king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] for the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [were of] bright brass. 46In the plain of Yarden [Descender] did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Sukkot [Booths] and Tzartan [their distress]. 47And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.

48And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] made all the vessels that [pertained] unto the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the showbread [was], 49And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right [side], and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs [of] gold, 50And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers [of] pure gold; and the hinges [of] gold, [both] for the doors of the inner house, the most holy [place, and] for the doors of the house, [that is to say], of the temple.

51So was ended all the work that king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] made for the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] brought in the things which David [beloved] his father had dedicated; [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
