Contextual Overview

¹⁵ And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roofs, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir. ¹⁶ And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies. ¹⁷ And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits long. ¹⁸ And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought, and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all. ¹⁹ And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. ²⁰ Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered it, and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar. ²¹ And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold. ²² And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold. ²³ And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height. ²⁴ One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.
