CHAP. III.
1 The place, and time of building the Temple. 3 The measure and ornaments of the house. 11 The Cherubims. 14 The vaile and pillars.
1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Ierusalem in Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared vnto Dauid his father, in the place that Dauid had prepared in the threshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.1
2 And he began to build in the second day of the second moneth, in the fourth yeere of his reigne.
3 ¶ Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubites after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twentie cubites.3
4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was atcording to the breadth of the house, twentie cubites, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he ouerlaid it within, with pure gold.4
6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beautie, and the gold was gold of Paruaim.6
10 And in the most holy place hee made two Cherubims of image work, and ouerlaid them with gold.10
13 The wings of these Cherubims spread themselues forth twentie cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.13
14 ¶ And he made the vaile of blue and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought Cherubims thereon.14
15 Also hee made before the house, two pillars of thirtie and fiue cubites high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them, was fiue cubites.15
17 And he reared vp 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, Iachin, and the name of that on the left, Boaz.17

3:1 Moriah - It was the belief of the ancient Jews, that the temple was built on that very place, where Abraham offered up Issac.
3:3 Instructed - By David, and by the Spirit of God. The measure - According to he measure which was first fixed.
3:4 The height - This being a kind of turret to the building.
3:5 Greater house - The holy place, which was thrice as large as the holy of holies.
3:9 Nails - Each of the nails, screws, or pins, by which the golden plates were fastened to the walls, weighed, or rather was worth, fifty shekels, workmanship and all. Upper chambers - Rather, the roof.
3:10 Image work - Or, of moveable work, not fixed to the mercy - seat, as the Mosaical cherubim, but in a moving posture. It seems, they were designed to represent the angels, who attend the Divine Majesty.
3:13 Inward - Heb. towards the house, that is, the most holy house.
3:14 The veil - The inner veil before the most holy place. This denoted the darkness of that dispensation and the distance at which the worshippers were kept. But at the death of Christ this veil was rent; for thro' him we are brought nigh, and have boldness, or liberty, not only to look, but to enter into the holiest.
3:17 Jachin - That is, He shall establish. Boaz - That is, In it is strength.
