And he built his house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

And he built the house of the forest of Lebanon, one hundred cubits its length, and fifty cubits its width, and thirty cubits its height, on four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars.

And it was paneled with cedar above, on the ribs which were on the pillars, forty-five, fifteen the row.

And windows, three rows, and frame facing frame, three times.

And all the doorways and the doorposts were square frames, facing frame to frame, three times.

And he made a porch of pillars, fifty cubits its length, and thirty cubits its width, and a porch before them, and pillars, and a lintel before them.

And the porch of the throne where he would judge, the porch of judgment, he made, and it was paneled with cedar from the ground to the ground.

And his house where he would dwell, another court, behind the porch, was made like this work. And a house he made for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Shelomoh had taken, like this porch.

All these were precious stones, according to measure, cut stones, smoothed with saws, inside and outside, and from the foundation to the eaves, and from outside to the great court.

And the foundation was precious stones, great stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.

And above were precious stones, according to measure, cut stones, and cedar.

And the great court, around it, three rows of cut stones, and one row of cedar beams, and for the court of the house of יהוה, the inner court, and for the porch of the house.

And King Shelomoh sent and brought Ḥiram from Tsor.

He was the son of a widow woman from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tsor, a worker in bronze. And he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge to do any work in bronze. And he came to King Shelomoh and did all his work.

And he cast the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits the height of one pillar, and a cord of twelve cubits encircled the second pillar.

And he made two capitals of cast bronze to place on the tops of the pillars, five cubits the height of one capital, and five cubits the height of the second capital.

And he made nets of network, and wreaths of chain-work for the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars, seven for the one capital, and seven for the second capital.

And he made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates around the one net-work, to cover the capitals which were on the tops of the pomegranates. And so he did for the second capital.

And capitals on the tops of the pillars, like lilies in the porch, four cubits.

And capitals on the two pillars, also from above, opposite the belly which was toward the net-work, and the pomegranates, two hundred rows around the second capital.

And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple, and he set up the right pillar, and he called its name Yakhin. And he set up the left pillar, and he called its name Bo'az.

And on the tops of the pillars was lily-work. And the work of the pillars was finished.

And he made the Sea, cast bronze, ten cubits from its edge to its edge, round about. And five cubits its height. And a line of thirty cubits encircled it round about.

And gourds under its edge, around it, ten cubits, encircling the Sea round about, two rows of gourds cast in its casting.

It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east. And the Sea was on them from above, and all their hindquarters were inward.

And its thickness was a handbreadth, and its edge was like the work of the edge of a cup, a lily flower. Two thousand baths it could hold.

And he made the ten bases of bronze, four cubits the length of one base, and four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.

And this is the work of the bases: frames for them, and frames between the joining pieces.

And on the frames which were between the joining pieces were lions, oxen, and cherubim. And on the joining pieces, likewise, from above and from below the lions and the oxen, were wreaths of hammered work.

And four bronze wheels for one base, and bronze axles. And four feet for them, under the basins. The feet were cast from the side of each wreath.

And its opening was from inside the capital and upward, one cubit. And its opening was round, like this, one cubit and a half cubit. And also on its opening were moldings, and their frames were square, not round.

And the four wheels were under the frames. And the axles of the wheels were in the base. And the height of one wheel was one cubit and a half cubit.

And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their hubs, all cast.

And four feet at the four corners of one base, from the base were its feet.

And at the top of the base was a half cubit height, round about. And on the top of the base were its axles, and its frames, from it.

And he engraved on the plates, its axles, and on its frames, cherubim, lions, and palm trees, like each man's space, and wreaths around.

Like this he made the ten bases, one cast metal, one measure, one pattern for all of them.

And he made ten bronze basins, forty baths the one basin could hold, four cubits the one basin. One basin on one base for the ten bases.

And he put the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. And the Sea he put on the right side of the house, eastward, opposite the south.

And Ḥiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls. And Ḥiram finished doing all the work which he did for King Shelomoh in the house of יהוה.

Two pillars, and the capitals of the crowns which were on the tops of the pillars, two, and the nets, two, to cover the two capitals of the crowns which were on the tops of the pillars.

And the pomegranates, four hundred, for the two nets, two rows of pomegranates for the one net, to cover the two capitals of the crowns which were on the faces of the pillars.

And the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases.

And the one Sea, and the twelve oxen under the Sea.

And the pots, and the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls, and all these vessels which Ḥiram made for King Shelomoh in the house of יהוה, were of polished bronze.

In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the thick soil between Sukkot and Tsartan.

And Shelomoh placed all the vessels, exceedingly many. The weight of the bronze was not investigated.

And Shelomoh made all the vessels which were in the house of יהוה: the altar of gold, and the table on which was the bread of the Presence, gold.

And the lampstands, five on the right, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, pure gold, and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, gold.

And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the sprinkling bowls, and the cups, and the fire pans, pure gold. And the hinges for the doors of the inner house, for the most holy place, for the doors of the house, for the temple, gold.

And all the work which King Shelomoh did for the house of יהוה was completed. And Shelomoh brought the holy things of David his father; the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, he put in the treasuries of the house of יהוה.
