1 Kings 6:19-24

¹⁹At the back of the temple they made the Very Holy Place, where the Sacred Chest would be put.

²⁰That room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. They covered the walls with very thin sheets of pure gold. For burning incense they also made an altar of cedar boards.

²¹Solomon told them to cover the other walls inside the temple with very thin sheets of pure gold and to fasten gold chains across the entrance to the Very Holy Place.

²²They covered all the walls of the temple and the altar that was outside the Very Holy Place with very thin sheets of gold.

²³Inside the Very Holy Place, they made from olive tree wood large statues of two creatures with wings. Each one was 15 feet tall.

²⁴They each were the same size and had the same shape. They each had two wings which were spread out. Each wing was 7-1/2 feet long, with the result that the distance between the outer ends of the two wings was 15 feet.
