He overlaid the temple — the beams, the thresholds, its walls and doors — with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls. 8Then he made the most holy place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple, 30 feet, and its width was 30 feet. He overlaid it with forty-five thousand pounds of fine gold. 9The weight of the nails was twenty ounces of gold, and he overlaid the ceiling with gold.
