30. Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.

31. And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.

32. And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.

33. And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,

34. and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.

35. And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.

36. And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.

37. In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.

38. And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.
