2And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his kingdom.And he began to build in the second moneth, in the fourth yeare of his kingdom.Cœpit autem ædificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.
3And these be the foundations, which Salomon laid, to build the house of God, of length in the first measure sixty cubits, of breadth twenty cubits.And these be the fundations, which Salomon layd, to build the house of God, of length in the first measure sixtie cubites, of bredth twentie cubites.✦Et hæc sunt fundamenta quæ jecit Salomon, ut ædificaret domum Dei : longitudinis cubitos in mensura prima sexaginta, latitudinis cubitos viginti.

5Also the greater house he covered with wooden boards of fir tree, and he fastened on plates of fine gold throughout: and he sculpere: carved, engraved in it palm trees, and as it were little chains embracing one another.Also the greater house he couered with wodden bordes of firre tree, and he fastened on plates of fine gold throughout: and he graued in it palme trees, and as it were litle chaines embracing one an other.✦Domum quoque majorem texit tabulis ligneis abiegnis, et laminas auri obrizi affixit per totum : sculpsitque in ea palmas, et quasi catenulas se invicem complectentes.
6He paved also the floor of the Temple with most precious marble, in much beauty.He paued also the floore of the Temple with most precious marble, in much beautie.Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.
7Moreover it was most tried gold, of the plates whereof he covered the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors: and he graved cherubs in the walls.Moreouer it was most tried gold, of the plates wherof he couered the house, and the beames therof, and the postes, and the walles, and the doores: and he graued cherubs in the walles.✦Porro aurum erat probatissimum, de cujus laminis texit domum, et trabes ejus, et postes, et parietes, et ostia : et cælavit cherubim in parietibus.

9Yea and he made nails of gold, so that every nail weighed fifty siclos: shekels, a silver weight and coin a piece: the upper chambers also he covered with gold.Yea and he made nailes of gold, so that euerie naile weighed fiftie sicles a peece: the vpper chambers also he couered with gold.Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent : cœnacula quoque texit auro.
10He made also in the house of Sanctum sanctorum two Cherubs of statuario: of cast or sculptured figures work: and he covered them with gold.He made also in the house of Sanctum sanctorum two Cherubs of statuarie worke: and he couered them with gold.✦Fecit etiam in domo Sancti sanctorum cherubim duos, opere statuario : et texit eos auro.
11The wings of the cherubs were extended twenty cubits, so that one wing had five cubits, and touched the wall of the house: and the other having five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub.The winges of the cherubs were extended twentie cubites, so that one wing had fiue cubites, and touched the wal of the house: and the other hauing fiue cubites, touched the wing of the other cherub.Alæ cherubim viginti cubitis extendebantur, ita ut una ala haberet cubitos quinque et tangeret parietem domus : et altera quinque cubitos habens, alam tangeret alterius cherub.
12In like manner the wing of the other cherub, had five cubits, and touched the wall: and his other wing of five cubits, touched the wing of the other Cherub.In like maner the wing of the other cherub, had fiue cubites, and touched the wal: and his other wing of fiue cubites, touched the wing of the other Cherub.Similiter cherub alterius ala, quinque habebat cubitos, et tangebat parietem : et ala ejus altera quinque cubitorum, alam cherub alterius contingebat.
13Therefore the wings of both the cherubs were spread forth, and were extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their faces were turned to the utter house.Therfore the winges of both the cherubs were spred forth, and were extended twentie cubites: and they stoode vpright on their feete, and their faces were turned to the vtter house.Igitur alæ utriusque cherubim expansæ erant et extendebantur per cubitos viginti : ipsi autem stabant erectis pedibus, et facies eorum erant versæ ad exteriorem domum.
14He made also a veil of hyacinth, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wove in it cherubs.He made also a vele of hyacinth, purple, scarlet, and silke: & woue in it cherubs.Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso : et intexuit ei cherubim.
