1 Kings 6:15-28

¹⁵The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.

¹⁶And at the back of the house a further space of twenty cubits was shut in with boards of cedar-wood, for the inmost room.

¹⁷And the house, that is, the Temple, in front of the holy place was forty cubits long.

¹⁸(All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)

¹⁹And he made ready an inmost room in the middle of the house, in which to put the ark of the agreement of the Lord.

²⁰And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.

²¹Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.

²²Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).

²³In the inmost room he made two winged beings of olive-wood, ten cubits high;

²⁴With outstretched wings five cubits wide; the distance from the edge of one wing to the edge of the other was ten cubits.

²⁵The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.

²⁶The two of them were ten cubits high.

²⁷These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.

²⁸These winged ones were plated over with gold.
