15
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house and the walls of the ceiling;
and he covered
them on the inside with wood and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16
And he built twenty cubits on the end of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar; and he built an oracle in the house, which is the holy of holies.
17
And the house, that
is, the temple before it, was forty cubits
long.
18
And the cedar of the house within
was carved with wild gourds and open flowers. All
was cedar; no stone was seen.
19
And he prepared the oracle in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
20
And the oracle in the forepart
was twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits wide and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold and likewise covered the altar
which was of cedar.
21
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and he closed the door of the oracle with chains of gold, and he overlaid it with gold.
22
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house; also the whole altar that
was in front of the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23
And within the oracle he made two cherubims
of olive wood,
each ten cubits high.
24
And one wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits; from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other
were ten cubits.
25
Likewise, the other cherub
was ten cubits, for both the cherubims
were of one measure and one size.
