1 Kings 6:15-34

15Then he 1builtH1129 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 on the insideH4480H1004 with boardsH6763 of cedarH730; from the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 to the 2ceilingH7023H5604 he overlaidH6823 the walls on the insideH4480H1004 with woodH6086, and he overlaidH6823 the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 with boardsH6763 of cypressH1265. 163He builtH1129 twentyH6242 cubitsH520 on the rearH3411 partH3411 of the houseH1004 with boardsH6763 of cedarH730 from the floorH7172 to the 4ceilingH7023; he builtH1129 them for it on the insideH4480H1004 as an innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687, even as 5the mostH6944 holyH6944 placeH6944. 17The houseH1004, that is, the naveH1964 in frontH6440 of the inner sanctuary, was fortyH705 6cubitsH520 long. 18There was cedarH730 on the houseH1004 withinH6441, carvedH4734 in the shape of 7gourdsH6497 and openH6362 flowersH6731; allH3605 was cedarH730, thereH369 was noH369 stoneH68 seenH7200. 19Then he preparedH3559 an innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 withinH8432 the houseH1004 in order to placeH5414 thereH8033 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068. 208The innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in widthH7341, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in heightH6967, and he overlaidH6823 it with pureH5462 goldH2091. He also overlaidH6823 the altarH4196 with cedarH730. 21So SolomonH8010 overlaidH6823 the insideH4480H6441 of the houseH1004 with pureH5462 goldH2091. And he drewH5674 chainsH7569 of goldH2091 acrossH5674 the frontH6440 of the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687, and he overlaidH6823 it with goldH2091. 22He overlaidH6823 the wholeH3605 houseH1004 with goldH2091, untilH5704 allH3605 the houseH1004 was finishedH8552. Also 9the wholeH3605 altarH4196 whichH834 was by the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091.

2310Also in the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 he madeH6213 twoH8147 cherubimH3742 of oliveH8081 woodH6086, each tenH6235 cubitsH520 highH6967. 24FiveH2568 cubitsH520 was the oneH259 wingH3671 of the cherubH3742 and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 the otherH8145 wingH3671 of the cherubH3742; from the endH7098 of one wingH3671 to the endH7098 of the other wingH3671 were tenH6235 cubitsH520. 25The otherH8145 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520; bothH8147 the cherubimH3742 were of the sameH259 measureH4060 and the sameH259 formH7095. 26The heightH6967 of the oneH259 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520, and soH3651 was the otherH8145 cherubH3742. 27He placedH5414 the cherubimH3742 in the midstH8432 of the innerH6442 houseH1004, and 11the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 were spreadH6566 out, so that the wingH3671 of the oneH259 was touchingH5060 the one wallH7023, and the wingH3671 of the otherH8145 cherubH3742 was touchingH5060 the otherH8145 wallH7023. So their wingsH3671 were touchingH5060 eachH3671 otherH3671 in the centerH8432 of the houseH1004. 28He also overlaidH6823 the cherubimH3742 with goldH2091.

29Then he carvedH7049 allH3605 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 roundH4524 aboutH4524 with carvedH6603 engravingsH6603 of cherubimH3742, palmH8561 treesH8561, and openH6362 flowersH6731, innerH6441 and outerH2435 sanctuaries. 30He overlaidH6823 the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 with goldH2091, innerH6441 and outerH2435 sanctuaries.

31For the entranceH6607 of the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 he madeH6213 doorsH1817 of oliveH8081 woodH6086, the lintelH352 and five-sidedH2549 doorpostsH4201. 32So he made twoH8147 doorsH1817 of oliveH8081 woodH6086, and he carvedH7049 on them carvingsH4734 of cherubimH3742, palmH8561 treesH8561, and openH6362 flowersH6731, and overlaidH6823 them with goldH2091; and he spreadH7286 the goldH2091 on the cherubimH3742 and on the palmH8561 treesH8561.

33SoH3651 also he madeH6213 for the entranceH6607 of the naveH1964 four-sidedH7243 doorpostsH4201 of oliveH8081 woodH6086 34and 12twoH8147 doorsH1817 of cypressH1265 woodH6086; the twoH8147 leavesH6763 of the oneH259 doorH1817 turnedH1550 on pivotsH1550, and the twoH8147 13leavesH7050 of the otherH8145 doorH1817 turnedH1550 on pivotsH1550.
