Contextual Overview

¹⁵ The inside walls were covered from floor to ceiling with cedar boards. The floor was made from pine boards. ¹⁶ A room thirty feet long was built in the back part of the Temple. This room, called the Most Holy Place, was separated from the rest of the Temple by cedar boards which reached from floor to ceiling. ¹⁷ The main room, the one in front of the Most Holy Place, was sixty feet long. ¹⁸ Everything inside the Temple was covered with cedar, which was carved with pictures of flowers and plants. A person could not see the stones of the wall, only the cedar. ¹⁹ Solomon prepared the inner room at the back of the Temple to keep the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord . ²⁰ This inner room was thirty feet long, thirty feet wide, and thirty feet high. He covered this room with pure gold, and he also covered the altar of cedar. ²¹ He covered the inside of the Temple with pure gold, placing gold chains across the front of the inner room, which was also covered with gold. ²² So all the inside of the Temple, as well as the altar of the Most Holy Place, was covered with gold. ²³ Solomon made two creatures from olive wood and placed them in the Most Holy Place. Each creature was fifteen feet tall ²⁴ and had two wings. Each wing was seven and one-half feet long, so it was fifteen feet from the end of one wing to the end of the other.
