1 Kings 6:19-38
19Then he preparedH3559 an innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 insideH8432 the houseH1004 in order to placeH5414 thereH8033 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068. 201The innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in widthH7341, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in heightH6967; and he overlaidH6823 it with pureH5458 goldH2091. He also paneledH6823 the altarH4196 with cedarH730. 21So SolomonH8010 overlaidH6823 the insideH4480H6441 of the houseH1004 with pureH5458 goldH2091. And he extendedH5674 chainsH7569 of goldH2091 acrossH5674 the frontH6440 of the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687, and he overlaidH6823 it with goldH2091. 22He overlaidH6823 the entireH3605 houseH1004 with goldH2091, untilH5704 allH3605 the houseH1004 was finishedH8552. Also 2the entireH3605 altarH4196 whichH834 was by the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091.
233And in the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 he madeH6213 twoH8147 4cherubimH3742 of oliveH8081 woodH6086, each 5tenH6235 cubitsH520 highH6967. 24The oneH259 wingH3671 of the first cherubH3742 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and the otherH8145 wingH3671 of the first cherubH3742 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520; from the endH7098 of one wingH3671 to the endH7098 of the other wingH3671 were tenH6235 cubitsH520. 25The secondH8145 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520; bothH8147 of the cherubimH3742 were of the sameH259 measurementH4060 and the sameH259 formH7095. 26The heightH6967 of the oneH259 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520, and soH3651 was that of the otherH8145 cherubH3742. 27He placedH5414 the cherubimH3742 in the midstH8432 of the innerH6442 houseH1004, and 6the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 spreadH6566 outH6566 so that the wingH3671 of the oneH259 was touchingH5060 the one wallH7023, and the wingH3671 of the otherH8145 cherubH3742 was touchingH5060 the otherH8145 wallH7023. And their wingsH3671 were touchingH5060 7endH3671 to 8endH3671 in the centerH8432 of the houseH1004. 28He also overlaidH6823 the cherubimH3742 with goldH2091.
29Then he carvedH7049 allH3605 the surroundingH4524 wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 with engravingsH4734H6603 of cherubimH3742, palmH8561 treesH8561, and openH6362 flowersH6731, for the innerH6441 and outerH2435 sanctuaries. 30And he overlaidH6823 the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 with goldH2091, for the innerH6441 and outerH2435 sanctuaries.
31And for 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 overlaidH7286 the cherubimH3742 and the palmH8561 treesH8561 with goldH2091.
33SoH3651 too he madeH6213 for the entranceH6607 of the mainH1964 roomH1964 four-sidedH7243 doorpostsH4201 of oliveH8081 woodH6086, 34and 9twoH8147 doorsH1817 of juniperH1265 woodH6086; the twoH8147 leavesH6763 of the oneH259 doorH1817 turnedH1550 onH1550 pivotsH1550, and the twoH8147 10leavesH6763 of the otherH8145 doorH1817 turnedH1550 onH1550 pivotsH1550. 35He carvedH7049 on it cherubimH3742, palmH8561 treesH8561, and openH6362 flowersH6731; and he overlaidH6823 them with goldH2091 platedH3474 on the carvedH2707 work. 36And 11he builtH1129 the innerH6442 courtyardH2691 with threeH7969 rowsH2905 of cutH1496 stoneH1496 and a rowH2905 of cedarH730 beamsH3773.
3712In the fourthH7243 yearH8141 the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 was laidH3245, in the monthH3391 of ZivH2099. 38And in the eleventhH259H6240 yearH8141, in the monthH3391 of BulH945, that is, the eighthH8066 monthH2320, the houseH1004 was finishedH3615 in allH3605 its partsH1697 and in accordance with allH3605 its plansH4941. So he was sevenH7651 yearsH8141 in buildingH1129 it.
