1st Kings 6:15-36

¹⁵and he builded the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, from the pavement of the house unto the highness of the wall, and unto the couples; and he covered them with wood of cedar within; and he covered the pavement of the house with boards of box wood.

¹⁶And he builded a wall of boards of cedar of twenty cubits at the hinder part of the temple, from the pavement unto the higher parts; and he made the inner house of God’s answering place into the holy of holy things.

¹⁷And that temple before the doors of God’s answering place was of forty cubits.

¹⁸And all the house within was clothed with cedar, and had his smoothnesses, and his joinings made subtly, and engravings appearing above; all things were clothed with boards of cedar, and utterly a stone might not appear in the wall.

¹⁹And Solomon made God’s answering place in the midst of the house, in the inner part, that he should set or put there the ark of bond of peace of the Lord.

²⁰And God’s answering place had twenty cubits of length, and twenty cubits of breadth, and twenty cubits of height; and he covered, and clothed it with purest gold; but also he clothed the altar with cedar.

²¹Also he covered with purest gold the house before God’s answering place, or the oracle, and he fastened the plates with golden nails.

²²Nothing was in the temple that was not covered with gold; but also he covered with gold all the altar of God’s answering place.

²³And he made in God’s answering place two cherubims or cherubim of the trees of olives, of ten cubits of height;

²⁴one wing of cherub was of five cubits, and the tother wing of cherub was of five cubits, that is, having ten cubits, from the highness of the one wing till to the highness of the tother wing.

²⁵And the second cherub was of ten cubits in even measure; and one work was in the two cherubims,

²⁶that is, one cherub had the height of ten cubits, and in like manner the tother cherub.

²⁷And he set the cherubims or cherubim in the midst of the inner temple; and the cherubims or cher-ubim held forth their wings, and one wing touched the one wall, and the wing of the second cherub touched the tother wall; and the other wings in the middle part of the temple touched themselves together.

²⁸And he covered the cherubims or cherubim with gold, and all the walls of the temple by compass/about;

²⁹and he engraved them with di-verse engravings and smoothness; and he made in those walls cherubims or cherubim, and palms, and diverse paintures, as standing forth and going out of the wall.

³⁰But also he covered with gold the pavement of the house, within and withoutforth.

³¹And in the entering of God’s answering place he made two little doors of the trees of olives; and he made doorposts of five corners,

³²and the two doors of the trees of olives; and he engraved in those or them the painture of cherubims or cherubim, and the likenesses of palms, and engravings above standing forth greatly; and he covered those or them with gold; and he covered as well the cherubims or cherubim, as the palms, and other things, with gold.

³³And in the entering of the temple he made doorposts four-cornered of trees of olives;

³⁴and he made the two doors of the trees of box, each against other; and ever either door was double, and it was opened holding itself together.

³⁵And he engraved cherubims or cherubim, and palms, and engravings appearing greatly; and he covered all things with golden plates, by square work at rule.

³⁶And he builded a large street, or an alley, within, by three orders of stones made fair, and by one order of wood of cedar.
