Revised Version 1895
1 Kings 6:15-33
15And he builtH1129 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 withinH1004 with boardsH6763 of cedarH730; from the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 unto the wallsH7023 of the cieling, he covered them on the insideH1004 with woodH6086: and he covered the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 with boardsH6763 of firH1265.
16And he builtH1129 twentyH6242 cubitsH520 on the hinder partH3411 of the houseH1004 with boardsH6763 of cedarH730 from the floorH7172 unto the wallsH7023: he evenH5704 builtH1129 them for it withinH1004, for an oracle, evenH5704 for the mostH6944 holyH6944 placeH6944.
17And the houseH1004, that is, the templeH1004 before the oracle, was fortyH705 cubitsH520 long.
18And there was cedarH730 on the houseH1004 withinH6441, carvedH4734 with knops and open flowers: allH3605 was cedarH730; there was noH369 stoneH68 seenH7200.
19And he preparedH3559 an oracle in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004 withinH8432, to setH5414 there the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068.
20And within the oracle was a space of twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in breadthH7341, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in the heightH6967 thereof; and he overlaidH6823 it with pureH5462 goldH2091: and he covered the altarH4196 with cedarH730.
21SoH5674 SolomonH8010 overlaidH6823 the houseH1004 withinH6441 with pureH5462 goldH2091: and he drew chainsH7572 of goldH2091 acrossH5674 beforeH6440 the oracle; and he overlaidH6823 it with goldH2091.
22And the wholeH3605 houseH1004 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091, untilH5704 allH3605 the houseH1004 was finishedH8552: also the wholeH3605 altarH4196 that belonged to the oracle he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091.
23And in the oracle he madeH6213 twoH8147 cherubimH3742 of oliveH8081 woodH6086, eachH8147 tenH6235 cubitsH520 highH6967.
24And fiveH2568 cubitsH520 was the one wingH3671 of the cherubH3742, and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 the otherH259 wingH3671 of the cherubH3742: from the uttermost partH7098 of the one wingH3671 unto the uttermost partH7098 of the otherH259 were tenH6235 cubitsH520.
25And the otherH259 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520: bothH8147 the cherubimH3742 were of one measureH520 and one formH7095.
26The heightH6967 of the one cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520, and soH3651 was it of the otherH259 cherubH3742.
27And he setH5414 the cherubimH3742 withinH8432 the innerH6442 houseH1004: and the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 were stretchedH6566 forthH5414, soH5414 that the wingH3671 of the one touchedH5060 the one wallH7023, and the wingH3671 of the otherH259 cherubH3742 touchedH5060 the otherH259 wallH7023; and their wingsH3671 touchedH5060 one anotherH259 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004.
28And he overlaidH6823 the cherubimH3742 with goldH2091.
29And he carvedH6603 allH3605 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 roundH4524 aboutH1004 with carvedH6603 figures of cherubimH3742 and palmH8561 treesH8561 and openH6440 flowers, withinH1004 and without.
30And the floorH7172 of the houseH1004 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091, withinH6441 and without.
31And for the entering of the oracle he madeH6213 doorsH1817 of oliveH8081 woodH6086: the lintel and doorH1817 postsH4201 were a fifthH2549 partH2549 of the wall.
32SoH5921 he madeH6086 twoH8147 doorsH1817 of oliveH8081 woodH6086; and he carvedH4734 uponH5921 them carvingsH4734 of cherubimH3742 and palmH8561 treesH6086 and open flowers, and overlaidH6823 them with goldH2091; and he spreadH7286 the goldH2091 uponH5921 the cherubimH3742, and uponH5921 the palmH8561 treesH6086.
33SoH3651 also madeH6213 he for the entering of the templeH1964 doorH6607 postsH4201 of oliveH8081 woodH6086, outH853 of a fourthH7243 part of the wall;
