1 Kings 6:19-35

19And the oracleH1687 he preparedH3559 inH8432 the houseH1004 withinH6441, to setH5414 there the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068. 20And the oracleH1687 in the forepartH6440 was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in breadthH7341, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in the heightH6967 thereof: and he overlaidH6823 it with pureH5462 goldH2091; and so coveredH6823 the altarH4196 which was of cedarH730.1 21So SolomonH8010 overlaidH6823 the houseH1004 withinH6441 with pureH5462 goldH2091: and he made a partitionH5674 by the chainsH7572 of goldH2091 beforeH6440 the oracleH1687; and he overlaidH6823 it with goldH2091. 22And the whole houseH1004 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091, until he had finishedH8552 all the houseH1004: also the whole altarH4196 that was by the oracleH1687 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091.

23And within the oracleH1687 he madeH6213 twoH8147 cherubimsH3742 of oliveH8081 treeH6086, each tenH6235 cubitsH520 highH6967.2 24And fiveH2568 cubitsH520 was the oneH259 wingH3671 of the cherubH3742, and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 the otherH8145 wingH3671 of the cherubH3742: from the uttermost partH7098 of the one wingH3671 unto the uttermost partH7098 of the otherH3671 were tenH6235 cubitsH520. 25And the otherH8145 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520: bothH8147 the cherubimsH3742 were of oneH259 measureH4060 and oneH259 sizeH7095. 26The heightH6967 of the oneH259 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520, and so was it of the otherH8145 cherubH3742. 27And he setH5414 the cherubimsH3742 withinH8432 the innerH6442 houseH1004: and they stretched forthH6566 the wingsH3671 of the cherubimsH3742, so that the wingH3671 of the oneH259 touchedH5060 the one wallH7023, and the wingH3671 of the otherH8145 cherubH3742 touchedH5060 the otherH8145 wallH7023; and their wingsH3671 touchedH5060 oneH3671 anotherH3671 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004.3 28And he overlaidH6823 the cherubimsH3742 with goldH2091. 29And he carvedH7049 all the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 round aboutH4524 with carvedH6603 figuresH4734 of cherubimsH3742 and palm treesH8561 and openH6362 flowersH6731, withinH6441 and withoutH2435.4 30And the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091, withinH6441 and withoutH2435.

31And for the enteringH6607 of the oracleH1687 he madeH6213 doorsH1817 of oliveH8081 treeH6086: the lintelH352 and side postsH4201 were a fifth partH2549 of the wall.5 32The twoH8147 doorsH1817 also were of oliveH8081 treeH6086; and he carvedH7049 upon them carvingsH4734 of cherubimsH3742 and palm treesH8561 and openH6362 flowersH6731, and overlaidH6823 them with goldH2091, and spreadH7286 goldH2091 upon the cherubimsH3742, and upon the palm treesH8561.67 33So also madeH6213 he for the doorH6607 of the templeH1964 postsH4201 of oliveH8081 treeH6086, a fourth partH7243 of the wall.8 34And the twoH8147 doorsH1817 were of firH1265 treeH6086: the twoH8147 leavesH6763 of the oneH259 doorH1817 were foldingH1550, and the twoH8147 leavesH7050 of the otherH8145 doorH1817 were foldingH1550. 35And he carvedH7049 thereon cherubimsH3742 and palm treesH8561 and openH6362 flowersH6731: and coveredH6823 them with goldH2091 fittedH3474 upon the carved workH2707.
