Solomon a început zidirea Casei Domnului la Ierusalim, pe muntele Moria, care fusese arătat tatălui său David, în locul pregătit de David în aria lui Ornan, Iebusitul.
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Iată pe ce temelii a zidit Solomon Casa lui Dumnezeu. Lungimea, în coţi de măsura cea veche a coţilor, era de şasezeci de coţi, iar lăţimea de douăzeci de coţi.
Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
Pridvorul dinainte avea douăzeci de coţi lungime, cît era de lată casa, şi o sută douăzeci de coţi înălţime; Solomon l -a acoperit pe dinlăuntru cu aur curat.
And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
A făcut casa Locului prea sfînt. Ea era lungă de douăzeci de coţi, cît lărgimea casei, şi largă de douăzeci de coţi. A acoperit -o cu aur curat, care preţuia şase sute de talanţi.
And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.
Aripile heruvimilor aveau o lungime de douăzeci de coţi. Aripa celui dintîi, lungă de cinci coţi, atingea zidul casei; şi cealaltă aripă, lungă tot de cinci coţi, atingea aripa celui de al doilea heruvim.
And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
Aripa celui de al doilea heruvim, lungă de cinci coţi, atingea zidul casei; şi cealaltă aripă, lungă tot de cinci coţi, se unea cu aripa celui dintîi heruvim.
And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
A făcut nişte reţele ca acelea cari erau în Locul prea sfînt, şi le -a pus pe vîrful stîlpilor. Apoi a făcut o sută de rodii pe cari le -a pus pe reţele.
And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.
A aşezat stîlpii în partea dinainte a Templului, unul la dreapta şi altul la stînga; a numit pe cel dela dreapta Iachin, şi pe cel dela stînga Boaz.
And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
