2 Crônicas 3

A construção do templo começa

1 *1Rs 6.1, etc.Salomão começou a edificar a Casa de Jeová em Jerusalém, no monte Moriá, onde Jeová apareceu a Davi, seu pai, no lugar que tinha preparado Davi *1Cr 21.18na eira de Ornã, jebuseu. 2 Começou a edificar no segundo dia do segundo mês, no quarto ano do seu reinado. 3 Estes são os alicerces que Salomão lançou para a edificação da Casa de Deus. O comprimento em cúbitos, segundo a primitiva medida, era de sessenta cúbitos, e a largura, de vinte cúbitos. 4 O pórtico que estava defronte da casa tinha de comprimento vinte cúbitos, correspondendo à largura da casa, e de altura cento e vinte cúbitos; e, por dentro, o cobriu com ouro puro. 5 Também fez forrar de madeira de cipreste *1Rs 6.17a casa maior, e a cobriu de ouro puro, e gravou nela palmas e cadeiazinhas. 6 Para beleza, guarneceu a casa de pedras preciosas; e o ouro era de Parvaim. 7 Com ouro *1Rs 6.20-22cobriu também a casa, as suas traves, os seus umbrais, as suas paredes e as suas portas; e *1Rs 6.29-35fez esculpir querubins nas paredes.

8 Fez a *Êx 26.33;1Rs 6.16casa do Santo dos Santos, cujo comprimento era de vinte cúbitos, correspondendo à largura da casa, e a largura, de vinte cúbitos; e cobriu-a de ouro fino, do peso de seiscentos talentos. 9 O peso dos pregos era de cinquenta siclos de ouro. Cobriu com ouro *1Cr 28.11as câmaras superiores.

Os dois querubins

10 *1Rs 6.23-28Na casa do Santo dos Santos, fez dois querubins, de obra de madeira, e cobriram-nos de ouro. 11 As asas dos querubins tinham de comprimento vinte cúbitos. A asa dum querubim tinha cinco cúbitos e tocava na parede da casa; e a outra asa, que igualmente tinha cinco cúbitos, tocava na asa do outro querubim. 12 A asa do outro querubim tinha cinco cúbitos e tocava na parede da casa; e a outra asa tinha igualmente cinco cúbitos e estava unida à asa do outro querubim. 13 As asas desses querubins estendiam-se por vinte cúbitos; eles estavam postos em pé, e os seus rostos virados para a casa. 14 *Êx 26.31Fez o véu de azul, púrpura, carmesim e de linho fino e fez bordar nele querubins.

As colunas

15 *1Rs 7.15-20Também fez diante da casa duas colunas que tinham trinta e cinco cúbitos de altura; e o capitel que estava em cima de cada uma delas tinha cinco cúbitos. 16 Fez cadeiazinhas na forma de colar, pondo-as sobre as sumidades das colunas; também fez cem romãs, que pôs nas cadeiazinhas. 17 *1Rs 7.21Erigiu as colunas diante do templo, uma à direita e a outra à esquerda; a que estava à direita, chamou-lhe Jaquim, e a que estava à esquerda, chamou-lhe Boaz.

1 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.*3.1 where…: or, which was seen of David his father*3.1 Ornan: also called, Araunah 2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

3 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.*3.3 instructed: Heb. founded 4 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. 5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. 6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.*3.6 garnished: Heb. covered 7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls. 8 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. 9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.*3.10 image…: or, (as some think) of moveable work

11 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. 12 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. 13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.*3.13 inward: or, toward the house

14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.*3.14 wrought: Heb. caused to ascend 15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.*3.15 high: Heb. long 16 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. 17 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.*3.17 Jachin: that is, He shall establish*3.17 Boaz: that is, In it is strength
