The Temple Built (1012 BC)
简体中文
圣殿建成（主前1012年）
¹ 所罗门就在耶路撒冷、摩利亚山上，耶和华向他父亲大卫显现的耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上——就是大卫所预备的地方——开工建造耶和华的殿。
² 所罗门作王第四年二月初二日开工建造。
³ 所罗门建殿所根据的尺寸记在下面：殿长六十肘（按古时的尺度），宽二十肘。
⁴ 殿前的廊子长二十肘，与殿的宽度相同，高一百二十肘；里面贴上精金。
⁵ 大殿用松木板遮盖，贴上精金，又刻上棕树和链子。
⁶ 他又用宝石装饰殿，使它华美；这金是巴瓦音的金子。
⁷ 他又用金子贴殿的梁、柱、墙和门扇，又在墙上雕刻基路伯。
⁸ 他又建造至圣所，长二十肘，与殿的宽相同，宽也是二十肘；他贴上精金，共用六百他连得。
⁹ 金钉重五十舍客勒；楼房也都贴上金子。
这里我们有：一、圣殿建造的地点。所罗门既不能随意选择，也不必为选址为难。这事早已定了（代上22:1），这使他心里得着省悟。1. 必须在耶路撒冷；因为那是神所选择要立他名的地方。王城必须是圣城。「在那里」必须有「以色列的见证」；「因为审判的宝座设在那里」（诗122:4-5）。2. 必须在摩利亚山上；有人认为这便是创22:2所说摩利亚地中那个所在。所以《他尔根》明说：「但他因耶和华的话得蒙拯救，有公羊被预备代替他。」那是预表基督献上自己为祭；所以圣殿——同样也是基督的预表——也建造在那里，原是合宜。3. 必须「在耶和华向大卫显现的地方」，就是他「用火回答」大卫的地方（代上21:18、26）。在那里赎罪之工曾一次作成；所以为记念那事，赎罪之工也要在那里继续进行。神在哪里曾与我相会，我便有盼望他仍在那里显明自己。4. 必须在大卫所预备的地方——不仅是大卫用金钱买下的地方，更是他在神的指示之下所选定的地方。所罗门的智慧，并不在于另寻一个更便利的地点，而在于顺服神的安排——不论人对这安排有何异议。5. 必须在阿珥楠的禾场上；他既是耶布斯人，若能鼓励外邦人，便叫我们看圣殿之工为需要心思之劳的工，并不亚于打麦之工需要身体之劳。
二、圣殿开工的时间；直到所罗门作王第四年才开工（代下3:2）。这并不是说前三年被虚耗了，或花在了讨论要不要建殿上；而是花在了建殿所必需的预备上——考虑到要召集多少工人、安排他们开工，三年很快便过去了。有人猜测这一年是安息年，或地得安息释放之年；那时百姓既已脱离农务，便更容易为这工的起首出力；如此一来，殿完工的那年也会恰好是另一个安息年，那时他们也可有闲暇参与献殿的典礼。
三、圣殿的尺寸；所罗门在这事上受了「指示」（代下3:3），正如在别的事上受他父亲的指示。「这就是所罗门立的神殿建造的根基。」这是他所遵循的准则——长宽各有几肘，「按古时的尺度」，即按最初所定的尺度；开工之时并无理由对之加以修改，因为尺寸是出于神的智慧，「神一切所作的都必永存；无所增添，无所减少」（传3:14）。他最初的尺度也必是最终的尺度。
四、圣殿的装饰。木工甚为精美，但里面还「包上精金」（代下3:4），「贴上精金」（代下3:5），其上又压印「棕树和链子」的图案。是「巴瓦音」的金子（代下3:6）——上好的金子。「梁」、「柱」、「墙」和「门扇」都「贴上精金」（代下3:7）。至圣所十码见方，全「贴上精金」（代下3:8），连「上层楼房」——或说「上层楼板或屋顶」——上下四周尽都贴金。每一个钉子，或螺丝，或钉栓，用以把金板固定在所贴的墙上，重五十舍客勒，或值那么多，连工价在内。许多宝石曾被献给神（代上29:2、8），这些宝石便这里那里镶嵌在最能显出它们光彩之处。如今最华美的房屋也不过以屋顶和墙壁上好的油漆为装饰；但圣殿的装饰却是极为厚实的丰富。它「用宝石」装饰，因为它是新耶路撒冷的预表——新耶路撒冷没有圣殿，因为它全城都是圣殿，它的城墙、城门和根基都说是「宝石和珍珠」造的（启21:18-19、21）。
英文原文
The Temple Built (1012 BC)
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.
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.
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 a 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.
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.
Here is, I. The place where the temple was built. Solomon was neither at liberty to choose nor at a loss to fix the place. It was before determined (1Ch 22:1), which was an ease to his mind. 1. It must be at Jerusalem; for that was the place where God had chosen to put his name there. The royal city must be the holy city. There must be the testimony of Israel; for there are set the thrones of judgment, Ps 122:4,5. 2. It must be on Mount Moriah, which, some think, was that very place in the land of Moriah where Abraham offered Isaac, Ge 22:2. So the Targum says expressly, adding, But he was delivered by the word of the Lord, and a ram provided in his place. That was typical of Christ's sacrifice of himself; therefore fitly was the temple, which was likewise a type of him, built there. 3. It must be where the Lord appeared to David, and answered him by fire, 1Ch 21:18,26. There atonement was made once; and therefore, in remembrance of that, there atonement must still be made. Where God has met with me it is to be hoped that he will still manifest himself. 4. It must be in the place which David has prepared, not only which he had purchased with his money, but which he had pitched upon divine direction. It was Solomon's wisdom not to enquire out a more convenient place, but to acquiesce in the appointment of God, whatever might be objected against it. 5. It must be in the threshold floor of Ornan, which, if (as a Jebusite) it gives encouragement to the Gentiles, obliges us to look upon temple-work as that which requires the labour of the mind, no less than threshing-work does that of the body.
II. The time when it was begun; not till the fourth year of Solomon's reign, 2Ch 3:2. Not that the first three years were trifled away, or spent in deliberating whether they should build the temple or no; but they were employed in the necessary preparations for it, wherein three years would be soon gone, considering how many hands were to be got together and set to work. Some conjecture that this was a sabbatical year, or year of release and rest to the land, when the people, being discharged from their husbandry, might more easily lend a hand to the beginning of this work; and then the year in which it was finished would fall out to be another sabbatical year, when they would likewise have leisure to attend the solemnity of the dedication of it.
III. The dimensions of it, in which Solomon was instructed (2Ch 3:3), as he was in other things, by his father. This was the foundation (so it may be read) which Solomon laid for the building of the house. This was the rule he went by, so many cubits the length and breadth, after the first measure, that is, according to the measure first fixed, which there was no reason to make any alteration of when the work came to be done; for the dimensions were given by divine wisdom, and what God does shall be for ever; nothing can be put to it, or taken from it, Ec 3:14. His first measure will be the last.
IV. The ornaments of the temple. The timber-work was very fine, and yet, within, it was overlaid with pure gold (2Ch 3:4), with fine gold (2Ch 3:5), and that embossed with palm-trees and chains. It was gold of Parvaim (2Ch 3:6), the best gold. The beams and posts, the walls and doors, were overlaid with gold, 2Ch 3:7. The most holy place, which was ten yards square, was all overlaid with fine gold (2Ch 3:8), even the upper chambers, or rather the upper floor or roof—top, bottom, and sides, were all overlaid with gold. Every nail, or screw, or pin, with which the golden plates were fastened to the walls that were overlaid with them, weighed fifty shekels, or was worth so much, workmanship and all. A great many precious stones were dedicated to God (1Ch 29:2,8), and these were set here and there, where they would show to the best advantage. The finest houses now pretend to no better garnishing than good paint on the roof and walls; but the ornaments of the temple were most substantially rich. It was set with precious stones, because it was a type of the new Jerusalem, which has no temple in it because it is all temple, and the walls, gates, and foundations of which are said to be of precious stones and pearls, Re 21:18,19,21.

圣殿的陈设（主前1012年）
¹⁰ 在至圣所内，他造两个基路伯，用巧工刻出，包上精金。
¹¹ 两个基路伯的翅膀共长二十肘：这一个基路伯的一个翅膀长五肘，挨着殿这边的墙；那一个翅膀也长五肘，挨着那基路伯的翅膀。
¹² 那一个基路伯的一个翅膀长五肘，挨着殿那边的墙；那一个翅膀也长五肘，与这基路伯的翅膀相接。
¹³ 这两个基路伯的翅膀张开，共长二十肘；他们站立着，脸向内。
¹⁴ 他又用蓝色、紫色、朱红色线和细麻作幔子，在其上绣出基路伯。
¹⁵ 他在殿前造了两根柱子，高三十五肘，每根柱子顶上的柱顶高五肘。
¹⁶ 他又像在至圣所里一样作了链子，安在柱顶上；又作了一百个石榴，安在链子上。
¹⁷ 他将这两根柱子立在殿前，一根在右边，一根在左边；右边的起名叫雅斤，左边的起名叫波阿斯。
此处记载的是：
-
设在至圣所里的两个基路伯。约柜之上本已有两个基路伯，用翅膀遮掩施恩座；那两个是小的。如今至圣所扩大了，这两个虽仍保留（因它们是约柜的附属，不像会幕中其他器皿那样要重新制造），却又加上两个大的——无疑是出于神的吩咐，用以充满圣所；否则圣所便显得空旷，如同一间未陈设器具的房屋。这些基路伯说是用「巧工」作的（代下3:10），大概用以代表事奉神威严的天使。每个翅膀伸展五肘，合计二十肘（代下3:12,13），正与至圣所的宽度相等（代下3:8）。他们站在脚上，如仆人一般，脸向内，朝着约柜（代下3:13），为要表明他们不是被设在那里受人敬拜的（若然便会被造成坐着的，如坐在宝座上，脸朝向敬拜者），而是作为事奉那不能看见之神的侍从。我们不可敬拜天使，却要与天使一同敬拜；因为我们已与他们进入相交（来12:22），并且要像天使行神的旨意那样去行。想到我们所敬拜的，正是众天使在其前遮脸的那一位，便有助于使我们在一切亲近神的情形中存敬畏之心。可参林前11:10，赛6:2。
-
隔开圣所与至圣所的幔子（代下3:14）。这幔子表明那时代的黑暗，以及敬拜者被拒于外的距离；但基督死时，这幔子裂开了；因借着祂，我们得以亲近，并且坦然无惧，不仅能观看，更能进入至圣所。幔子上绣着基路伯。希伯来文作「他使他们上升」，意即他们是以浮雕凸起之工造成的。或者说幔子上的基路伯被造成展翅上升的姿势，正如那两个站立的基路伯成侍立之姿——为要提醒敬拜者当举起他们的心，在敬虔中向上飞腾。
-
立在殿前的两根柱子。两根合起来略高于三十五肘（代下3:15），每根约十八肘高。可参王上7:15-22等，我们在那里已对那两根柱子——雅斤与波阿斯，即圣殿之工及其所代表的「坚定」与「力量」——作过考察。
英文原文
The Furniture of the Temple (1012 BC)
¹⁰ And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
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.
¹⁴ And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
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.
¹⁶ And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made a 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.
Here is an account of 1. The two cherubim, which were set up in the holy of holies. There were two already over the ark, which covered the mercy-seat with their wings; these were small ones. Now that the most holy place was enlarged, though these were continued (being appurtenances to the ark, which was not to be made new, as all the other utensils of the tabernacle were), yet those two large ones were added, doubtless by divine appointment, to fill up the holy place, which otherwise would have looked bare, like a room unfurnished. These cherubim are said to be of image-work (2Ch 3:10), designed, it is likely, to represent the angels who attend the divine Majesty. Each wing extended five cubits, so that the whole was twenty cubits (2Ch 3:12,13), which was just the breadth of the most holy place, 2Ch 3:8. They stood on their feet, as servants, their faces inward toward the ark (2Ch 3:13), that it might appear they were not set there to be adored (for then they would have been made sitting, as on a throne, and their faces towards their worshippers), but rather as themselves attendants on the invisible God. We must not worship angels, but we must worship with angels; for we have come into communion with them (Heb 12:22), and must do the will of God as the angels do it. The thought that we are worshipping him before whom the angels cover their faces will help to inspire us with reverence in all our approaches to God. Compare 1Co 11:10, Isa 6:2. 2. The veil that parted between the temple and the most holy place, 2Ch 3:14. This denoted the darkness of that dispensation, and the distance which the worshippers were kept at; but, at the death of Christ, this veil was rent; for through him we are made nigh, and have boldness not only to look, but to enter, into the holiest. On this he was wrought cherubim. Heb. he caused them to ascend, that is, they were made in raised work, embossed. Or he made them on the wing in an ascending posture, as the other two that stood on their feet in an attending posture, to remind the worshippers to lift up their hearts, and to soar upwards in their devotions. 3. The two pillars which were set up before the temple. Both together were somewhat above thirty-five cubits in length (2Ch 3:15), about eighteen cubits high a-piece. See 1Ki 7:15-22, etc., where we took a view of those pillars, Jachin and Boaz, establishment and strength in temple-work and by it.
关于圣殿的建造，《列王纪》所记的比《历代志》这里所记的更为详尽、更为具体。本章所记的有：一、建造圣殿的地点和时间（代下3:1-2）。二、殿的尺寸和华美的装饰（代下3:3-9）。三、至圣所内的基路伯（代下3:10-13）。四、幔子（代下3:14）。五、两根柱子（代下3:15-17）。这一切我们已在王上6:1-7:51读过了。
