1 Kings 6:19-36

¹⁹ And the oracle in the midst of the house within he hath prepared, to put there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. ²⁰ And before the oracle 'is' twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits 'is' its height; and he overlayeth it with gold refined, and overlayeth the altar with cedar. ²¹ And Solomon overlayeth the house within with gold refined, and causeth 'it' to pass over in chains of gold before the oracle, and overlayeth it with gold. ²² And the whole of the house he hath overlaid with gold, till the completion of all the house; and the whole of the altar that the oracle hath, he hath overlaid with gold. ²³ And he maketh within the oracle two cherubs, of the oil-tree, ten cubits 'is' their height; ²⁴ and five cubits 'is' the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second wing of the cherub, ten cubits from the ends of its wings even unto the ends of its wings; ²⁵ and ten by the cubit 'is' the second cherub, one measure and one form 'are' to the two cherubs, ²⁶ the height of the one cherub 'is' ten by the cubit, and so 'is' the second cherub; ²⁷ and he setteth the cherubs in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubs, and a wing of the one cometh against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings 'are' unto the midst of the house, coming wing against wing; ²⁸ and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold, ²⁹ and all the walls of the house round about he hath carved with openings of carvings, cherubs, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, within and without. ³⁰ And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold, within and without; ³¹ as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth. ³² And the two doors 'are' of the oil-tree, and he hath carved upon them carvings of cherubs, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causeth the gold to go down on the cherubs and on the palm-trees. ³³ And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth. ³⁴ And the two doors 'are' of fir-tree, the two sides of the one door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door are revolving. ³⁵ And he hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work. ³⁶ And he buildeth the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar.
