1 Kings 6:19-35

1 Kings 6:19-35

[19] And the oracle  he prepared  in  the house  within,  to set  there the ark  of the covenant  of the LORD.  [20] And the oracle  in the forepart  was twenty  cubits  in length,  and twenty  cubits  in breadth,  and twenty  cubits  in the height  thereof: and he overlaid  it with pure  gold;  and so covered  the altar  which was of cedar.  [21] So Solomon  overlaid  the house  within  with pure  gold:  and he made a partition  by the chains  of gold  before  the oracle;  and he overlaid  it with gold.  [22] And the whole house  he overlaid  with gold,  until he had finished  all the house:  also the whole altar  that was by the oracle  he overlaid  with gold.  [23] And within the oracle  he made  two  cherubims  of olive  tree,  each ten  cubits  high.  [24] And five  cubits  was the one  wing  of the cherub,  and five  cubits  the other  wing  of the cherub:  from the uttermost part  of the one wing  unto the uttermost part  of the other  were ten  cubits.  [25] And the other  cherub  was ten  cubits:  both  the cherubims  were of one  measure  and one  size.  [26] The height  of the one  cherub  was ten  cubits,  and so was it of the other  cherub.  [27] And he set  the cherubims  within  the inner  house:  and they stretched forth  the wings  of the cherubims,  so that the wing  of the one  touched  the one wall,  and the wing  of the other  cherub  touched  the other  wall;  and their wings  touched  one  in the midst  of the house.  [28] And he overlaid  the cherubims  with gold.  [29] And he carved  all the walls  of the house  round about  with carved  figures  of cherubims  and palm trees  flowers,  and without.  [30] And the floor  of the house  he overlaid  with gold,  within  and without.  [31] And for the entering  of the oracle  he made  doors  of olive  tree:  the lintel  and side posts  were a fifth part  [32] The two  doors  also were of olive  tree;  and he carved  upon them carvings  of cherubims  and palm trees  flowers,  and overlaid  them with gold,  and spread  gold  upon the cherubims,  and upon the palm trees.  [33] So also made  he for the door  of the temple  posts  of olive  tree,  a fourth part  [34] And the two  doors  were of fir  tree:  the two  leaves  of the one  door  were folding,  and the two  leaves  of the other  door  were folding.  [35] And he carved  thereon cherubims  and palm trees  flowers:  and covered  them with gold  fitted  upon the carved work.
