16. And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the Beis [Hamikdash], from the floor to the rafters with boards of cedar; he even built them for it within, even for the Debir, even for the Kodesh HaKodashim.
17. And the Beis, that is, the Heikhal in front of it, was forty cubits long.
18. And the cedar of the Beis [Hamikdash] within was carved with gourds and open flowers; all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19. And the Devir he prepared in the Beis [Hamikdash] within, to set there the Aron Brit Hashem.
20. And the Devir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure zahav (gold); and so covered the mizbe'ach which was of cedar.
21. So Sh'lomo overlaid the Beis [Hamikdash] within with pure zahav (gold); and he drew chains of zahav (gold) across, in front of the Devir; and he overlaid it with zahav.
22. And the whole interior he overlaid with zahav (gold), in order that kol haBeis be perfect; also the whole Mizbe'ach that belonged to the Devir he overlaid with zahav (gold).
23. And within the Devir he made two keruvim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
24. And five cubits was the one wing of the keruv, and five cubits the other wing of the keruv; from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25. And the other keruv was ten cubits; both the keruvim were of one measure and one size.
26. The height of the one keruv was ten cubits, and so was it of the other keruv.
27. And he set the keruvim within the inner room; and they stretched forth the wings of the keruvim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other keruv touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of HaBayit.
28. And he overlaid the keruvim with zahav (gold).
29. And he carved all the walls of the Beis [Hamikdash] round about with carved figures of keruvim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
30. And the floor of the Beis [Hamikdash] he overlaid with zahav (gold), within and without.
31. And for the entering of the Devir he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and the five-sided door posts.
