  • 1 Kgs 6:20-35 : 20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar with cedar. 21 Solomon overlaid the interior of the house with pure gold, and he placed gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which he also overlaid with gold. 22 So the entire house was overlaid with gold until the entire house was finished. He also overlaid the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold. 23 In the inner sanctuary, he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits and the other wing was five cubits, making a total of ten cubits from wingtip to wingtip. 25 The second cherub was also ten cubits; both cherubim had the same size and shape. 26 The height of the first cherub was ten cubits, and so was the height of the second cherub. 27 He placed the cherubim in the inner house, and their wings were spread out. One wing of each cherub touched one wall, and their other wings touched each other in the center of the house. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold. 29 He decorated the walls of the house all around with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, both in the inner and outer rooms. 30 He also overlaid the floor of the house with gold, both the inner and the outer rooms. 31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood; the doorposts formed a pentagon. 32 The two doors were made of olive wood, and he carved on them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and spread the gold over the cherubim and the palm trees. 33 In the same way, he made doorposts of olive wood for the entrance to the main hall. They were four-sided. 34 The two doors were of cypress wood. Each door had two folding panels; one door had two folding sections, and the other door also had two folding sections. 35 He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers on them, and he overlaid the carvings with evenly applied gold.
