1 Kings - ch 6 v 21 - 38
- 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.
- 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.
- And he maketh within the oracle two cherubs, of the oil-tree, ten cubits `is' their height;
- 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;
- and ten by the cubit `is' the second cherub, one measure and one form `are' to the two cherubs,
- the height of the one cherub `is' ten by the cubit, and so `is' the second cherub;
- 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;
- and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold,
- 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.
- And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold, within and without;
- as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth.
- 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.
- And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth.
- 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.
- And he hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work.
- And he buildeth the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar.
- In the fourth year hath the house of Jehovah been founded, in the month Zif,
- and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul -- `that is' the eighth month -- hath the house been finished in all its matters, and in all its ordinances, and he buildeth it seven years.
