great abundance, and largeness of lev, even as the sand
that is on the seashore.
30 And Shlomo's chochmah excelled the chochmah of all
the children of the east country, and all the chochmah of
Mitzrayim.
31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the
Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of
Machol: and his fame was in all nations all around.
32 And he spoke three thousand mishle: and his shirim
were one thousand five.
33 And he spoke with da’at about eytzim, from the cedar
eytz that is in Levanon even to the hyssop that springs out
of the wall: he spoke also of beasts, and of fowls, and of
creeping things, and of fishes with great chochmah.
34 And there came from all nations to hear the chochmah
of Shlomo, from all the melechim of the olam, 858 who
had heard of his chochmah.
5 And Chiram melech of Tzor sent his avadim to
Shlomo; for he had heard that they had anointed him
melech in the place of his abba: for Chiram always had an
ahava for Dawid.
2 And Shlomo sent to Chiram, saying,
3 You know how that Dawid my abba could not build a
Bayit to the Name of vuvh his Elohim for the wars which
were around him on every side, until vuvh put them under
the soles of his feet.
4 But now vuvh my Elohim has given me rest on every
side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil incident.
5 And, see, I purpose to build a Bayit to the Name of
vuvh my Elohim, as vuvh spoke to Dawid my abba,
saying, Your son, whom I will set upon your kesay in
your place, he shall build a Bayit to My Name.
6 So now command that they cut me cedar eytzim out of
Levanon; and my avadim shall be with your avadim, and
to you will I pay wages for your avadim according to all
that you shall appoint. For you know that there is not
among us any that has the skill to cut timber like the
Tzidonians.
7 And it came to pass, when Chiram heard the words of
Shlomo, that he had great gilah, and said, Blessed be vuvh
this day, who has given to Dawid a wise son over this
great people.
8 And Chiram sent to Shlomo, saying, I have considered
the message that you sent to me: and I will do all your
desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning the
cypress logs.
9 My avadim shall bring them down from Levanon to the
sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats to the place
that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be
unloaded there, and you shall receive them: and you shall
accomplish my desire, by giving food for my household.
10 So Chiram gave Shlomo cedar eytzim and cypress logs
according to all his desire.
11 And Shlomo gave Chiram twenty thousand measures
of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures
of pure oil: this Shlomo gave to Chiram every year.
12 And vuvh gave Shlomo chochmah, as He promised
him: and there was shalom between Chiram and Shlomo,
and the two made a brit together.
13 And melech Shlomo raised compulsory labor out of
kol Yisrael; and the compulsory labor was thirty thousand
men.

14 And he sent them to Levanon ten thousand a month in
turns: a month they were in Levanon, and two months at
home: and Adoniram was over the compulsory labor.
15 And Shlomo had seventy thousand that bore burdens,
and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountains:
16 Beside the chief of Shlomo's officers who were over
the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled over
the people that labored in the work.
17 And the melech commanded, and they brought great
stones, costly stones, and cut stones, to lay the foundation
of the Bayit.
18 And Shlomo's builders and Chiram's builders did cut
them, and the stonemasons: so they prepared timber and
stones to build the Bayit.

And it came to pass in the four hundred eightieth year
after the children of Yisrael were come out of the land of
Mitzrayim, in the fourth year of Shlomo's reign over
Yisrael, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that
he began to build the Bayit of vuvh.
2 And the Bayit which melech Shlomo built for vuvh, the
length was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits, and
the height thirty cubits.
3 And the porch before the Hekal of the Bayit, twenty
cubits was the length, according to the width of the Bayit;
and ten cubits was the width in front of the Bayit.
4 And for the Bayit he made windows with narrow
frames.
5 And against the wall of the Bayit he built rooms all
around, against the walls of the Bayit all around, both of
the Hekal and of the Speaking Place: and he made rooms
all around:
6 The lowest room was five cubits wide, and the middle
was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide:
for outside in the wall of the Bayit he made narrow ledges
all around, so that the beams should not be fastened in the
walls of the Bayit.
7 And the Bayit, when it was being built, was built of
finished stone made ready before it was brought there: so
that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of
iron heard in the Bayit, while it was being built.
8 The door for the middle room was on the right side of
the Bayit: and they went up with winding stairs into the
middle side rooms, and out of the middle into the third.
9 So he built the Bayit, and finished it; and panelled the
Bayit with beams and boards of cedar.
10 And then he built side rooms against all the Bayit, five
cubits high: and they rested on the Bayit with cedar
beams.
11 And the word of vuvh came to Shlomo, saying,
12 Concerning this Bayit which you are building, if you
will have your halacha in My chukim, and execute My
mishpatim, and keep all My mitzvoth to have your
halacha in them, then will I perform My word with you,
which I spoke to Dawid your abba:
13 And I will dwell among the children of Yisrael, and
will not forsake My people Yisrael.
14 So Shlomo built the Bayit, and finished it.
15 And he built the walls of the Bayit within with boards
of cedar, both the floor of the Bayit, and the walls to the
ceiling: and he paneled them on the inside with wood, and
he paneled the floor of the Bayit with planks of cypress.
16 And he built twenty cubits at the rear of the Bayit,
