11:006:006 The nethermost chamber was five cubits
broad, and the middle
was
six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad:
for
without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests
round
about, that the beams should not be fastened in the
walls
of the house.
11:006:007 And the house, when it was in building,
was built of stone
made
ready before it was brought thither: so that there
was
neither
hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the
house,
while it was in building.
11:006:008 The door for the middle chamber was in
the right side of the
house:
and they went up with winding stairs into the middle
chamber,
and out of the middle into the third.
11:006:009 So he built the house, and finished it;
and covered the house
with
beams and boards of cedar.
11:006:010 And then he built chambers against all
the house, five cubits
high:
and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11:006:011 And the word of the lord came to Solomon, saying,
11:006:012 Concerning this house which thou art in
building, if thou wilt
walk
in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep
all my
commandments
to walk in them; then will I perform my word with
thee,
which I spake unto David thy father:
11:006:013 And I will dwell among the children of
Israel, and will not
forsake
my people Israel.
11:006:014 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
11:006:015 And he built the walls of the house within
with boards of
cedar,
both the floor of the house, and the walls of the
ceiling:
and he covered them on the inside with wood, and
covered
the floor of the house with planks of fir.
11:006:016 And he built twenty cubits on the sides
of the house, both the
floor
and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built
them
for
it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy
place.
11:006:017 And the house, that is, the temple before
it, was forty cubits
long.
11:006:018 And the cedar of the house within was carved
with knops and
open
flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
11:006:019 And the oracle he prepared in the house
within, to set there
the
ark of the covenant of the lord.
11:006:020 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.
11:006:021 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.
