11:006:022 And the whole house he overlaid with gold,
until he had
finished
all the house: also the whole altar that was by
the
oracle
he overlaid with gold.
11:006:023 And within the oracle he made two cherubims
of olive tree,
each
ten cubits high.
11:006:024 And five cubits was the one wing of the
cherub, and five
cubits
the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost
part
of
the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were
ten
cubits.
11:006:025 And the other cherub was ten cubits:
both the cherubims were
of
one measure and one size.
11:006:026 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits,
and so was it of
the
other cherub.
11:006:027 And he set the cherubims within the inner
house: and they
stretched
forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing
of
the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other
cherub
touched the other wall; and their wings touched one
another
in the midst of the house.
11:006:028 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
11:006:029 And he carved all the walls of the house
round about with
carved
figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers,
within
and without.
11:006:030 And the floors of the house he overlaid
with gold, within and
without.
11:006:031 And for the entering of the oracle he made
doors of olive
tree:
the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the
wall.
11:006:032 The two doors also were of olive tree;
and he carved upon them
carvings
of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and
overlaid
them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims,
and
upon the palm trees.
11:006:033 So also made he for the door of the temple
posts of olive
tree,
a fourth part of the wall.
11:006:034 And the two doors were of fir tree:
the two leaves of the one
door
were folding, and the two leaves of the other door
were
folding.
11:006:035 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm
trees and open
flowers:
and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved
work.
11:006:036 And he built the inner court with three
rows of hewed stone,
and
a row of cedar beams.
11:006:037 In the fourth year was the foundation of
the house of the lord
laid,
in the month Zif:
11:006:038 And in the eleventh year, in the month
Bul, which is the
eighth
month, was the house finished throughout all the parts
thereof,
and according to all the fashion of it. So was
he
seven
years in building it.
