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.

32. The two doors also were of olive wood; and he carved upon them carvings of keruvim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with zahav, and spread zahav upon the keruvim, and upon the palm trees.
33. So also made he for the entrance of the Heikhal foursided door posts of olive wood.
34. And the two doors were of cypress wood; the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35. And he carved thereon keruvim and palm trees and open flowers; and covered them with zahav fitted upon the carved work.
36. And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
