1 Kings 6:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:19

And the oracle he prepared in the house within
In the innermost part of the house he fitted up the oracle, or speaking place, from whence the Lord spake and gave answer, to receive what was to be put into it: particularly

to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord;
even the very same that Moses made, ( Exodus 37:1-5 ) , for which David had pitched a tent in Zion, ( 1 Chronicles 15:1 ) , and where it now was; for Solomon made no new ark.

1 Kings 6:19 In-Context

17 porro quadraginta cubitorum erat ipsum templum pro foribus oraculi

18 et cedro omnis domus intrinsecus vestiebatur habens tornaturas suas et iuncturas fabrefactas et celaturas eminentes omnia cedrinis tabulis vestiebantur nec omnino lapis apparere poterat in pariete

19 oraculum autem in medio domus in interiori parte fecerat ut poneret ibi arcam foederis Domini

20 porro oraculum habebat viginti cubitos longitudinis et viginti cubitos latitudinis et viginti cubitos altitudinis et operuit illud atque vestivit auro purissimo sed et altare vestivit cedro

21 domum quoque ante oraculum operuit auro purissimo et adfixit lamminas clavis aureis
