15And he framed the walls of the house within with cedar boards, from the floor of the house and on to the inner walls and to the beams: he lined the parts enclosed with boards within, and compassed the inward parts of the house with planks of fir.
16And he built the twenty cubits from the top of the wall, one side from the floor to the beams, and he made it from the oracle to the most holy place.
17And the temple was forty cubits in extent,
19in front of the oracle in the midst of the house within, in order to put there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
20The length was twenty cubits, and the breadth was twenty cubits, and the height of it was twenty cubits. And he covered it with perfect gold, and he made an altar
21in front of the oracle, and covered it with gold.
22And he covered the whole house with gold, till he had finished gilding the whole house.
23And he made in the oracle two cherubs of ten cubits measured size.
24And the wing of one cherub was five cubits, and his other wing was five cubits; ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing.
25Thus it was with the other cherub, both were alike finished with one measure.
26And the height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it with the second cherub.
27And both the cherubs were in the midst of the innermost part of the house; and they spread out their wings, and one wing touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings in the midst of the house touched each other.
28And he covered the cherubs with gold.
29He graved all the walls of the house round about with the graving of cherubs, and he sculptured palm trees within and without the house.
30And he covered the floor of the house within and without with gold.
31And for the door-way of the oracle he made doors of juniper wood, there were porches in a four-fold way.
34In both the doors were planks of fir; the one door had two leaves and their hinges, and the other door had two leaves and turned on hinges,
35being carved with cherubs, and there were palm-trees and open flower-leaves, and it was overlaid with gold gilt upon the engraving.
36And he built the inner court, three rows of hewn stones, and a row of wrought cedar round about,
36aand he made the curtain of the court of the porch of the house that was in front of the temple.
