fit;
beams should not be_fastened in the_ walls_of the house.
7 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 |
xaxe nor any toolof iron heard in the house, while it_was_in_building.
8 The_door_for the middle s chamber was in the right sh side_of the house: and they went_up with winding-stairs into the middle chamber, and out_of the middle into the third.
9 So he built -the house, and finished and ccovered -the house with » beams and ce boards of x=cedar.
10 And [then] he built 7 xchambers
.|against all the house, five cubits high :
and they rested_on «the house with xtimber_of =cedar.
11 And the_word_of Jthe Lorp came to Solomon, saying,
12“ Concerning xthis xhouse which thou +art_in_building, if thou wilt_walk in My statutes, and texecute My ments, and keep ments to walk in them; then -will_I_ perform My «word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father :
18 And I -will_dwell ‘among the_ schildren_of Israel, and will not forsake My ~people Israél.”
14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
1s And he built -the_walls_of the house within with s* boards_of =cedar,
Ff both the_floor_of the house, “and |
the_walls_of the cieling : and he covered them on the inside with wood, and co- yered +the_floor_of the house with planks_of ¢ =fir.
16 And he built «twenty cubits on the_sides_of the house, / both the floor wand the walls with s‘ boards_of =cedar : he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the h-most x=holy place.
17 (And the house, that 7s, the temple
-\before it, was forty xcubits long.)
18 And the_cedar_of the * house with- in was carved with yknops and ° open flowers : xall was cedar: there_was no stone seen.
19 And the_syoracle he prepared in the house within, to set there -the_ ark_of the_covenant_of ‘the Lorp.
20 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 r pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
21aSo Solomon overlaid -the house within with pure gold. And he made_ a_partition by the_chains_of gold be- fore the sporacle; and he overlaid it with gold.
= And «the whole xhouse he overlaid with gold, until he had_finished all the house. Also the whole xaltar that was
. |by the sp oracle he oyerlaid with gold.
3 And within the sp oracle he made two cherubims of 9 olive =tree, each ten eubits high.
24 And five cubits was the one wing_ of the cherub, and five cubits the other
