1 Kings 6:7-36

7And the houseH1004, when it was in buildingH1129, was builtH1129 of stoneH68 made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammerH4717 nor axeH1631 nor any tool of ironH1270 heardH8085 in the houseH1004, while it was in buildingH1129. 8The doorH6607 for the middleH8484 side-chambers was in the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004: and they wentH5927 up by winding stairs into the middleH8484 story, and out of the middleH8484 into the thirdH7992. 9So he builtH1129 the houseH1004, and finishedH3615 it; and he coveredH5603 the houseH1004 with beams and planks of cedar. 10And he builtH1129 the stories against all the houseH1004, each fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high: and they rested on the houseH1004 with timber of cedarH730.

11And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, 12ConcerningH413 this houseH1004 which thou art buildingH1129, if thou wilt walk in my statutesH2708, and execute mine ordinancesH4941, and keepH8104 all my commandmentsH4687 to walk in them; then will I establishH6965 my wordH1697 with thee, which I spake unto DavidH1732 thy fatherH1. 13And I will dwellH7931 among the children of IsraelH3478, and will not forsakeH5800 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.

14So SolomonH8010 builtH1129 the houseH1004, and finishedH3615 it. 15And he builtH1129 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 within with boardsH6763 of cedarH730: from the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 unto the wallsH7023 of the ceiling, he covered them on the insideH1004 with woodH6086; and he covered the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 with boardsH6763 of firH1265. 16And he builtH1129 twentyH6242 cubitsH520 on the hinder partH3411 of the houseH1004 with boardsH6763 of cedarH730 from the floorH7172 unto the wallsH7023 of the ceiling: he builtH1129 them for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holyH6944 placeH6944. 17And the houseH1004, that is, the temple before the oracle, wasH1961 fortyH705 cubitsH520 long. 18And there was cedarH730 on the houseH1004 within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedarH730; there was no stoneH68 seenH7200. 19And he preparedH3559 an oracle in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004 within, to setH5414 there the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah. 20And within the oracle was a space of twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in breadthH7341, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in the heightH6967 thereof; and he overlaidH6823 it with pureH5462 goldH2091: and he covered the altarH4196 with cedarH730. 21So SolomonH8010 overlaidH6823 the houseH1004 within with pureH5462 goldH2091: and he drew chains of goldH2091 across before the oracle; and he overlaidH6823 it with goldH2091. 22And the whole houseH1004 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091, until all the houseH1004 was finishedH8552: also the whole altarH4196 that belonged to the oracle he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091.

23And in the oracle he madeH6213 twoH8147 cherubimH3742 of olive-wood, each tenH6235 cubitsH520 high. 24And fiveH2568 cubitsH520 was the oneH259 wingH3671 of the cherubH3742, and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 the other wingH3671 of the cherubH3742: from the uttermost part of the oneH259 wingH3671 unto the uttermost part of the other were tenH6235 cubitsH520. 25And the other cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520: both the cherubimH3742 were of oneH259 measure and oneH259 form. 26The heightH6967 of the oneH259 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520, and soH3651 was it of the other cherubH3742. 27And he setH5414 the cherubimH3742 within the innerH6442 houseH1004; and the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 were stretched forth, so that the wingH3671 of the oneH259 touchedH5060 the oneH259 wallH7023, and the wingH3671 of the other cherubH3742 touchedH5060 the other wallH7023; and their wingsH3671 touchedH5060 oneH259 another in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004. 28And he overlaidH6823 the cherubimH3742 with goldH2091.

29And he carved all the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 roundH4524 about with carved figures of cherubimH3742 and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without. 30And the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091, within and without. 31And for the entranceH6607 of the oracle he madeH6213 doorsH1817 of olive-wood: the lintel and door-posts were a fifthH2549 partH2549 of the wall. 32So he made twoH8147 doorsH1817 of olive-wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubimH3742 and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaidH6823 them with goldH2091; and he spread the goldH2091 upon the cherubimH3742, and upon the palm-trees. 33SoH3651 also madeH6213 he for the entranceH6607 of the templeH1964 door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourthH7243 part of the wall; 34and twoH8147 doorsH1817 of fir-wood: the twoH8147 leaves of the oneH259 doorH1817 were folding, and the twoH8147 leaves of the other doorH1817 were folding. 35And he carved thereon cherubimH3742 and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaidH6823 them with goldH2091 fitted upon the graven work. 36And he builtH1129 the innerH6442 courtH2691 with threeH7969 courses of hewnH1496 stoneH1496, and a course of cedarH730 beamsH3773.
