1 Kings 6:29-38 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

29. And he carved all the walls of the House all around, both inside and outside, with carved figures of keruḇim, and palm trees, and open flowers.

30. And he overlaid the floor of the House with gold, inside and outside.

31. And for the entrance of the Speaking Place he made doors of olive wood: the lintel, doorposts, a fifth.

32. And the two doors were of olive wood. And he carved on them figures of keruḇim, and palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. And he spread the gold on the keruḇim and on the palm trees.

33. And so he made doorposts for the door of the hĕḵal of olive wood – a fourth part.

34. And the two doors were of cypress wood, the two leaves of the one folded, and two leaves of the other door folded.

35. And he carved keruḇim, and palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold laid smoothly on the carved work.

36. And he built the inner courtyard with three rows of hewn stone and a row of cedar beams.

37. In the fourth year the foundation of the House of יהוה was laid, in the month Ziw.

38. And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, the eighth month, the house was completed in all its matters and according to all its plans. Thus he built it for seven years.
