the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after
the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth
twenty cubits
003:003
And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length
of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty
cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he
overlaid it within with pure gold
003:004
And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he
overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and
chains
003:005
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty:
and the gold was gold of Parvaim
003:006
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the
walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved
cherubims on the walls
003:007
And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was
according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the
breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine
gold, amounting to six hundred talents
003:008
And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he
overlaid the upper chambers with gold
003:009
And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image
work, and overlaid them with gold
003:010
And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one
wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall
of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits,
reaching to the wing of the other cherub
003:011
And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to
the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits
also, joining to the wing of the other cherub
003:012
The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty
cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were
inward
003:013
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and
fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon
003:014
Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five
cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of
them was five cubits
003:015
And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the
heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and
put them on the chains
003:016
And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the
right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of
that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the
left Boaz
