1 And Solomon begins to build the house of YHWH in Jerusalem, on the mount of Moriah where He appeared to his father David, in the place that David had prepared, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, 2 and he begins to build in the second [day], in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 3 And [in] these Solomon has been instructed to build the house of God: the length [in] cubits by the former measure [is] sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 4 As for the porch that [is] on the front, the length [is] by the front of the breadth of the house—twenty cubits, and the height one hundred and twenty [[or twenty]], and he overlays it within with pure gold. 5 And he has covered the large house with fir-trees, and he covers it with fine gold, and causes palms and chains to ascend on it, 6 and he overlays the house with precious stone for beauty, and the gold [is] gold of Parvaim, 7 and he covers the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold, and has engraved cherubim on the walls. 2 Chronicles 3:1-7, Literal Standard Version.
