열왕기상 7:1-51

왕궁 건축

1또 솔로몬은 자기 궁전을 13년 동안 건축하여 준공하였다.

2-3그 궁전에는 레바논의 숲이라고 부르는 궁이 있었다. 그 규모는 길이가 45미터, 폭이 22.5미터, 높이가 13.5미터였으며 네 줄의 백향목 기둥이 있고 그 위에는 세 줄의 들보가 얹혀 있었다. 그리고 그 들보는 한 줄에 15개씩 모두 45개였다.

4또 그 궁의 양쪽 벽에는 세 줄의 창문이 나 있고

5모든 출입문과 창문은 4각형으로 만들었으며 양쪽 벽에 있는 그 세 줄의 창문들은 서로 마주 보게 하였다.

6그리고 솔로몬은 주랑을 만들었다. 그 길이는 22.5미터이고 폭은 13.5미터이며 그 기둥 앞에는 현관 하나를 붙여 지었다.

7그는 또 왕좌를 놓고 앉아서 재판할 집무실도 지었는데 바닥에서부터 천정까지 온통 백향목 판자로 덮었다.

8그리고 솔로몬의 관저는 그의 집무실 뒷편의 다른 뜰에 있었으며 그 모양은 다른 궁과 비슷하였다. 또 솔로몬은 자기 아내인 바로의 딸을 위해서도 이와 똑같은 궁을 하나 더 지었다.

9이 모든 건물들은 기초에서 처마까지 값비싼 좋은 돌을 다듬어 지은 것이며 그 돌들은 치수대로 잘라 그 면을 가는 톱으로 잘 다듬은 것이었다.

10그 기초석은 질이 좋은 큰 돌로 만들었으며 그 길이가 어떤 것은 4.5미터, 어떤 것은 3.6미터였다.

11그리고 그 기초석 위에는 치수대로 다듬은 좋은 돌을 쌓고 그 위에 백향목 들보를 놓았다.

12또 궁전의 큰 뜰은 현관이 딸린 성전 안뜰처럼 다듬은 돌을 세 층으로 쌓고 그 위에 백향목 판자 한 층을 얹은 담으로 만들었다. 성전 내부 시설을 맡은 후람

13솔로몬왕은 두로에서 7:13 또는 ‘히람’후람이라는 사람을 데려왔다.

14그의 어머니는 납달리 지파 사람이었고 죽은 그의 아버지는 놋세공 기술이 뛰어난 두로 사람이었다. 후람 역시 이 분야에 훌륭한 재능을 가진 숙련공이었으므로 그는 솔로몬왕의 부탁을 받고 와서 여러 가지 놋제품을 만들었다. 두 놋기둥

15후람은 먼저 놋기둥 두 개를 만들었다. 그 높이는 각각 8.1미터이고 둘레는 5.4미터였다.

16그는 또 놋기둥에 얹을 기둥머리 두 개를 만들었는데 이것도 놋물을 부어서 만든 것으로 그 높이가 약 2.3미터였다.

17-18그 기둥머리는 바둑판 모양으로 얽은 그물과 꽃줄 모양의 사슬과 두 줄의 놋석류로 장식했으며

19기둥머리 윗부분 1.8미터는 백합화 모양으로 만들고

20공처럼 둥글게 만든 그 그물 세공 둘레에는 200개의 석류를 두 줄로 달았다.

21그러고서 후람은 이 두 기둥을 성전 입구에 세웠는데 그는 오른쪽에 세운 기둥을 7:21 ‘하나님이세우신다’ 는뜻.‘야긴’ 이라 부르고 왼쪽에 세운 기둥을 7:21 ‘그의힘으로’ 라는뜻.‘보아스’ 라고 불렀다.

22이렇게 해서 성전 입구의 양쪽 기둥은 완성되었다.

물탱크

23후람은 또 둥근 모양의 큰 물탱크 하나를 만들었다. 그것은 직경이 4.5미터, 높이가 약 2.3미터, 둘레는 13.5미터였으며

24그 가장자리 아래에는 돌아가면서 4.5센티미터 간격으로 두 줄의 놋조롱박이 하나씩 달려 있었다. 이것은 물탱크와 하나로 주조된 것이었다.

25그 물탱크는 서로 엉덩이를 맞대고 있는 열두 마리의 놋소 위에 얹혀 있었으며 그 놋소들은 동서남북으로 각각 세 마리씩 바깥쪽으로 향하였다.

26그리고 이 물탱크의 두께는 손바닥 넓이만하였고 그 가장자리는 백합화처럼 밖으로 휘어진 잔 모양같이 만들었으며 그 용량은 7:26 히 ‘2,000밧’44킬로리터였다.

놋받침

27그리고 후람은 물통을 얹을 이동식 놋받침 열 개를 만들었다. 이것은 각각 그 길이와 폭이 1.8미터, 높이가 약 1.4미터로

28틀에 고정시킨 사각형의 놋판으로 만들어졌는데

29그 놋판에는 사자와 소와 그룹 천사들이 있고 그 틀 위에는 밑받침이 있으며 사자와 소 아래에는 화환 모양으로 되어 있었다.

30또 놋받침에는 놋으로 만든 바퀴 네 개와 축이 있고 그 놋받침 네 모퉁이에는 물통을 얹을 수 있는 네 발이 있으며 그 발은 화환으로 장식되어 있었다.

31그리고 놋받침 맨 위에는 오목한 받침대가 있었다. 그것은 놋받침에서 위로 45센티미터 올라왔고 그 깊이가 약 68센티미터였으며 그 면에도 무늬를 아로새겼다.

32또 네 개의 바퀴가 놋판 밑에 있고 바퀴 축이 놋받침에 연결되어 있었으며 그 바퀴의 높이는 약 68센티미터였다.

33그리고 그 바퀴는 전차 바퀴처럼 만들어졌고 축과 테와 살과 바퀴통이 모두 놋물을 부어 만든 것이었다.

34놋받침 네 모퉁이에는 하나로 연결된 네 개의 버팀대가 있고

35놋받침 꼭대기 언저리에는 폭이 약 23센티미터 되는 둥근 띠가 둘러 있으며 버팀대와 놋판은 놋받침과 하나로 주조되어 있었다.

36그리고 버팀대와 놋판의 빈자리에는 그룹 천사와 사자와 종려나무를 아로새겼고 그 둘레에는 화환 모양을 새겼다.

37이렇게 해서 후람은 놋받침 열 개를 만들었는데 이것들은 그 모양과 크기가 모두 같았다.

38그리고 그는 놋받침 위에 얹을 물통 열 개를 만들었다. 그 직경은 모두 1.8미터이며 물통 하나의 용량은 7:38 히 ‘40밧’880리터였다.

39그러고서 그는 놋받침 다섯을 성전 오른편에 두고 다섯은 성전 왼편에 두었으며 물탱크는 성전 우측의 남동쪽 모퉁이에 두었다.

후람이 만든 성전 비품

40후람은 또 솥과 부삽과 대접을 만들어 솔로몬왕이 지시한 성전 일을 다 완성하였다. 그가 만든 것은

41두 개의 기둥, 기둥 꼭대기에 얹을 두 개의 기둥머리, 꽃줄 모양의 두 그물 장식,

42기둥머리 그물에 두 줄로 단 400개의 놋석류,

43열 개의 놋받침, 열 개의 물통,

44물탱크와 그것을 떠받치는 열두 마리의 놋소,

45그리고 솥과 부삽과 대접이었다. 후람은 솔로몬왕을 위해 성전의 이 모든 기구들을 빛나는 놋으로 만들었는데

46솔로몬왕은 숙곳과 사르단 사이에 있는 요단 평야에서 찰흙으로 주형을 떠서 그 모든 기구를 만들도록 하였다.

47솔로몬은 이 모든 기구들을 달아 보지 않은 채 그냥 두었다. 이것은 그 기구들이 너무 많아 놋의 중량을 측정할 수가 없었기 때문이었다.

48또 솔로몬은 성전의 다른 기구들도 만들었다. 그것은 제단, 항상 빵을 차려 놓는 차림상,

49지성소 앞 좌우에 다섯 개씩 놓을 등대, 꽃장식물, 등잔, 불집게,

50대접, 심지 자르는 가위, 주발, 국자, 불을 옮기는 그릇, 그리고 지성소의 문과 성전 출입문의 돌쩌귀였으며 이 모든 것은 다 금으로 만들어졌다.

51솔로몬은 성전의 이 모든 기구들을 만들고 나서 자기 아버지 다윗이 여호와께 드린 은과 금과 그 밖의 기구들을 성전 창고에 넣어 두었다.

1 Kings 7:1-51

Solomon Builds His Palace

1But it took Solomon 13 years to finish constructing his palace and the other buildings related to it. 2He built the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. It was 150 feet long. It was 75 feet wide. And it was 45 feet high. It had four rows of cedar columns. They held up beautiful cedar beams. 3Above the beams was a roof made out of cedar boards. It rested on the columns. There were three rows of beams with 15 in each row. The total number of beams was 45. 4The windows of the palace were placed high up in the walls. They were in groups of three. And they faced each other. 5All the doorways had frames shaped like rectangles. They were in front. They were in groups of three. And they faced each other.

6Solomon made a covered area. It was 75 feet long. And it was 45 feet wide. Its roof was held up by columns. In front of it was a porch. In front of that were pillars and a roof that went out beyond them.

7Solomon built the throne hall. It was called the Hall of Justice. That’s where he would serve as judge. He covered the hall with cedar boards from floor to ceiling. 8The palace where he would live was set farther back. Its plan was something like the plan for the hall. Solomon had married Pharaoh’s daughter. He made a palace for her. It was like the hall.

9All those buildings were made out of blocks of good quality stone. They were cut to the right size. They were made smooth on their back and front sides. Those stones were used for the outside of each building and for the large courtyard. They were also used from the foundations up to the roofs. 10Large blocks of good quality stone were used for the foundations. Some were 15 feet long. Others were 12 feet long. 11The walls above them were made out of good quality stones. The stones were cut to the right size. On top of them was a layer of cedar beams. 12The large courtyard had a wall around it. The first three layers of the wall were made out of blocks of stone. The top layer was made out of beautiful cedar wood. The same thing was done with the inside courtyard of the Lord’s temple and its porch.

More Facts About the Temple

13King Solomon sent messengers to Tyre. He wanted them to bring Huram back with them. 14Huram’s mother was a widow. She was from the tribe of Naphtali. Huram’s father was from Tyre. He was skilled in working with bronze. Huram also had great skill, knowledge and understanding in working with bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all the work he was asked to do.

15Huram made two bronze pillars. Each of them was 27 feet high. And each was 18 feet around. 16Each pillar had a decorated top made out of bronze. Each top was seven and a half feet high. 17Chains that were linked together hung down from the tops of the pillars. There were seven chains for each top. 18Huram made two rows of pomegranates. They circled the chains. The pomegranates decorated the tops of the pillars. Huram did the same thing for each pillar. 19The tops on the pillars of the porch were shaped like lilies. The lilies were 6 feet high. 20On the tops of both pillars were 200 pomegranates. They were in rows all around the tops. They were above the part that was shaped like a bowl. And they were next to the chains. 21Huram set the pillars up at the temple porch. The pillar on the south he named Jakin. The one on the north he named Boaz. 22The tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the work on the pillars was finished.

23Huram made a huge metal bowl for washing. Its shape was round. It measured 15 feet from rim to rim. It was seven and a half feet high. And it was 45 feet around. 24Below the rim there was a circle of gourds around the bowl. In every 18 inches around the bowl there were ten gourds. The gourds were arranged in two rows. They were made as part of the bowl itself.

25The huge bowl stood on 12 bulls. Three of them faced north. Three faced west. Three faced south. And three faced east. The bowl rested on top of the bulls. Their rear ends were toward the center. 26The bowl was three inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup. The rim was shaped like the bloom of a lily. The bowl held 12,000 gallons of water.

27Huram also made ten stands out of bronze. They could be moved around. Each stand was six feet long. It was six feet wide. And it was four and a half feet high. 28Here is how the stands were made. They had sides that were joined to posts. 29On the sides between the posts were lions, bulls and cherubim. They were also on all of the posts. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths made out of hammered metal. 30Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Each stand had a bowl that rested on four supports. The stand had wreaths on each side. 31There was a round opening on the inside of each stand. The opening had a frame 18 inches deep. The sides were 27 inches high from the top of the opening to the bottom of the base. There was carving around the opening. The sides of the stands were square, not round. 32The four wheels were under the sides. The axles of the wheels were connected to the stand. Each wheel was 27 inches across. 33The wheels were made like chariot wheels. All the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were made out of metal.

34Each stand had four handles on it. There was one on each corner. They came out from the stand. 35At the top of the stand there was a round band. It was nine inches deep. The sides and supports were connected to the top of the stand. 36Huram carved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the sides of the stands. He also carved them on the surfaces of the supports. His carving covered every open space. He had also carved wreaths all around. 37That’s how he made the ten stands. All of them were made in the same molds. And they had the same size and shape.

38Then Huram made ten bronze bowls. Each one held 240 gallons. The bowls measured six feet across. There was one bowl for each of the ten stands. 39He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple. He placed the other five on the north side. He put the huge bowl on the south side. It was at the southeast corner of the temple. 40He also made the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.

So Huram finished all the work he had started for King Solomon. Here’s what he made for the Lord’s temple.

41He made the two pillars.

He made the two tops for the pillars. The tops were shaped like bowls.

He made the two sets of chains that were linked together. They decorated the two bowl-shaped tops of the pillars.

42He made the 400 pomegranates for the two sets of chains. There were two rows of pomegranates for each chain. They decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the pillars.

43He made the ten stands with their ten bowls.

44He made the huge bowl. He made the 12 bulls that were under it.

45He made the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.

Huram made all those objects for King Solomon for the Lord’s temple. He made them out of bronze. Then he shined them up. 46The king had made them in clay molds. It was done on the plain of the Jordan River between Sukkoth and Zarethan. 47Solomon didn’t weigh any of those things. There were too many of them to weigh. No one even tried to weigh the bronze they were made out of.

48Solomon also made everything in the Lord’s temple.

He made the golden altar.

He made the golden table for the holy bread.

49He made the pure gold lampstands. There were five on the right and five on the left. They were in front of the Most Holy Room.

He made the gold flowers. He made the gold lamps and tongs.

50He made the bowls, wick cutters, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and shallow cups for burning incense. All of them were made out of pure gold.

He made the gold bases for the doors of the inside room. That’s the Most Holy Room. He also made gold bases for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

51King Solomon finished all the work for the Lord’s temple. Then he brought in the things his father David had set apart for the Lord. They included the silver and gold and all the other things for the Lord’s temple. Solomon placed them with the other treasures that were there.
