Parallel
2 Chronicles 3
Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible
καὶ ἤρξατο Σαλωμων τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν τὸν οἶκον κυρίου ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἐν ὄρει τοῦ Αμορια οὗ ὤφθη κύριος τῷ Δαυιδ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ἡτοίμασεν Δαυιδ ἐν ἅλῳ Ορνα τοῦ Ιεβουσαίου
Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan (note: Ornan is a variant of Araunah; see 2 Samuel 24:16.) the Jebusite.
καὶ ἤρξατο οἰκοδομῆσαι ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ
Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
καὶ ταῦτα ἤρξατο Σαλωμων τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ μῆκος πήχεων ἡ διαμέτρησις ἡ πρώτη πήχεων ἑξήκοντα καὶ εὖρος πήχεων εἴκοσι
The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide (note: The foundation was approximately 90 feet long and 30 feet wide (27.4 meters long and 9.1 meters wide).), according to the old standard.
καὶ αιλαμ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου μῆκος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πλάτους τοῦ οἴκου πήχεων εἴκοσι καὶ ὕψος πήχεων ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι καὶ κατεχρύσωσεν αὐτὸν ἔσωθεν χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ
The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits high (note: Some LXX and Syriac manuscripts; Hebrew 120 cubits high (approximately 180 feet or 54.9 meters)). He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν μέγαν ἐξύλωσεν ξύλοις κεδρίνοις καὶ κατεχρύσωσεν χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ καὶ ἔγλυψεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ φοίνικας καὶ χαλαστά
He paneled the main room with cypress (note: Or pine or juniper or fir), which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.
καὶ ἐκόσμησεν τὸν οἶκον λίθοις τιμίοις εἰς δόξαν καὶ χρυσίῳ χρυσίου τοῦ ἐκ Φαρουαιμ
He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and its gold was from Parvaim.
καὶ ἐχρύσωσεν τὸν οἶκον καὶ τοὺς τοίχους καὶ τοὺς πυλῶνας καὶ τὰ ὀροφώματα καὶ τὰ θυρώματα χρυσίῳ καὶ ἔγλυψεν χερουβιν ἐπὶ τῶν τοίχων
He overlaid its beams, thresholds, walls, and doors with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων μῆκος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πλάτους πήχεων εἴκοσι καὶ τὸ εὖρος πήχεων εἴκοσι καὶ κατεχρύσωσεν αὐτὸν χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ εἰς χερουβιν εἰς τάλαντα ἑξακόσια
Then he made the Most Holy Place (note: Or the Holy of Holies; also in verse 10); its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold (note: 600 talents is approximately 22.6 tons or 20.5 metric tons of gold.).
καὶ ὁλκὴ τῶν ἥλων ὁλκὴ τοῦ ἑνὸς πεντήκοντα σίκλοι χρυσίου καὶ τὸ ὑπερῷον ἐχρύσωσεν χρυσίῳ
The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold (note: 50 shekels is approximately 1.26 pounds or 569.8 grams of gold.). He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τῷ ἁγίῳ τῶν ἁγίων χερουβιν δύο ἔργον ἐκ ξύλων καὶ ἐχρύσωσεν αὐτὰ χρυσίῳ
In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
καὶ αἱ πτέρυγες τῶν χερουβιν τὸ μῆκος πήχεων εἴκοσι καὶ ἡ πτέρυξ ἡ μία πήχεων πέντε ἁπτομένη τοῦ τοίχου τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ἡ πτέρυξ ἡ ἑτέρα πήχεων πέντε ἁπτομένη τῆς πτέρυγος τοῦ χερουβ τοῦ ἑτέρου
The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
καὶ ἡ πτέρυξ τοῦ χερουβ τοῦ ἑνὸς πήχεων πέντε ἁπτομένη τοῦ τοίχου τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ἡ πτέρυξ ἡ ἑτέρα πήχεων πέντε ἁπτομένη τοῦ πτέρυγος τοῦ χερουβ τοῦ ἑτέρου
The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
καὶ αἱ πτέρυγες τῶν χερουβιν διαπεπετασμέναι πήχεων εἴκοσι καὶ αὐτὰ ἑστηκότα ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν οἶκον
So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ καταπέτασμα ἐξ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου καὶ βύσσου καὶ ὕφανεν ἐν αὐτῷ χερουβιν
He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
καὶ ἐποίησεν ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ οἴκου στύλους δύο πήχεων τριάκοντα πέντε τὸ ὕψος καὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν πήχεων πέντε
In front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits high (note: 35 cubits is approximately 52.5 feet or 16 meters.), each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
καὶ ἐποίησεν σερσερωθ ἐν τῷ δαβιρ καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων καὶ ἐποίησεν ῥοΐσκους ἑκατὸν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τῶν χαλαστῶν
He made interwoven chains (note: Or He made chains in the inner sanctuary) and put them on top of the pillars. He made a hundred pomegranates and fastened them into the chainwork.
καὶ ἔστησεν τοὺς στύλους κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ναοῦ ἕνα ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ τὸν ἕνα ἐξ εὐωνύμων καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἐκ δεξιῶν Κατόρθωσις καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν Ἰσχύς
Then he set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. The pillar on the south he named Jachin (note: Jachin probably means He establishes.), and the pillar on the north he named Boaz (note: Boaz probably means in Him is strength.).
