2 Chronicles 3:5 In-Context

3 These are Solomon's measurements for building the house of God: the length, in cubits of the old standard, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

4 The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house; and its height was a hundred and twenty cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold.

5 The nave he lined with cypress, and covered it with fine gold, and made palms and chains on it.

6 He adorned the house with settings of precious stones. The gold was gold of Parva'im.

7 So he lined the house with gold--its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.
