以色列人出埃及地後四百八十年，所羅門作以色列王第四年西弗月，就是二月，開工建造耶和華的殿。 所羅門王為耶和華所建的殿，長六十肘，寬二十肘，高三十肘。 ……到十一年布勒月，就是八月，殿和一切屬殿的都按着樣式造成。他建殿的工夫共有七年。 列王紀上 6:1-2, 38
So, Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord. It was 480 years after the Israelites had come out from Egypt. Solomon had been king for 4 years. It was in the month called Ziv, the second month of the year. The temple that Solomon the king built for the Lord was 27 metres long. It was 9 metres wide and 14 metres high. ……They finished building the temple in the 11th year that Solomon was king. It was the eighth month, the month called Bul. Everything was as it was in the plans. It had taken him seven years to build it. 1 Kings 6:1-2, 38
