Contextual Overview

15 And he built the walls of the house inside with beams of cedar, from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling. He overlaid the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with boards of fir. 16 And he built the twenty cubits on the back part of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor to the walls. And he built for it inside, for the sanctuary, for the Holy of Holies. 17 And the house was forty cubits, that is , the temple before it . 18 And the cedar for the house inside was with carvings of gourds and flowers spread out; the whole was cedar; not a stone was seen. 19 And he prepared the Holy of Holies in the midst of the house, to place the ark of the covenant of Jehovah there. 20 And the face of the Holy of Holies was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in height. And he overlaid it with refined gold, and overlaid the altar with cedar. 21 And Solomon overlaid the house inside with refined gold, and caused it to pass over in chains of gold to the face of the Holy of Holies, and overlaid it with gold. 22 And he overlaid all of the house with gold, until all of the house was complete. And he overlaid with gold all of the altar that belonged to the Holy of Holies. 23 And inside the Holy of Holies he made two cherubs of the olive tree; their height was ten cubits. 24 And one wing of the cherub was five cubits; and the second wing of the cherub five cubits; ten cubits from the ends of its wings even to the ends of its wings.
