3 Then Solomon began to build the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah [Gen. 22:2]. This was where the Lord had appeared to David, Solomon’s father. Solomon built the ·Temple [^Lhouse] on the place David had prepared on the threshing floor of ·Araunah [or Ornan; 1 Chr. 21:15, 18–28] the Jebusite. ² Solomon began building in the ·second month [or second day of the second month; ^Cmidspring] of the fourth year ·he ruled Israel [of his reign].

³ Solomon used ·these measurements [or this foundation] for building the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of God. It was ·ninety feet [^Lsixty cubits] long and ·thirty feet [^Ltwenty cubits] wide, using the old ·measurement [standard].
