2 Chronicles 3:3-9

3This is how Solomon laid the foundation to build God’s temple. It was 90 feet long and 30 feet wide. (They used the old standard measurement.)

4The entrance hall in front of ⌞the main room⌟ was 30 feet wide (the same as the width of the temple) and 30 feet high. He covered its inside walls with pure gold.

5He paneled the larger building with cypress, overlaid it with fine gold, and decorated it with ⌞designs in the form of⌟ palm trees and chains.

6He covered the building with gems to beautify it and used gold from Parvaim.

7He also overlaid the building, the rafters, the threshold, the walls, and the doors with gold, and he carved angels  into the walls.

8He made the most holy place. It was as long as the temple was wide, 30 feet long. It was also 30 feet wide. He overlaid it with 45,000 pounds of fine gold.

9The gold nails weighed 20 ounces. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
