[6:15] The inside walls were covered with cedar panels from the floor to the ceiling, and the floor was made of pine.
[6:16] An inner room, called the Most Holy Place, was built in the rear of the Temple. It was 30 feet long and was partitioned off by cedar boards reaching from the floor to the ceiling.
[6:17] The room in front of the Most Holy Place was 60 feet long.
[6:18] The cedar panels were decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers; the whole interior was covered with cedar, so that the stones of the walls could not be seen.
[6:19] In the rear of the Temple an inner room was built, where the Lord's Covenant Box was to be placed.
[6:20] This inner room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high, all covered with pure gold. The altar was covered with cedar panels.
[6:21] The inside of the Temple was covered with gold, and gold chains were placed across the entrance of the inner room, which was also covered with gold.
[6:22] The whole interior of the Temple was covered with gold, as well as the altar in the Most Holy Place.
[6:23] Two winged creatures were made of olive wood and placed in the Most Holy Place, each one 15 feet tall.
[6:27] They were placed side by side in the Most Holy Place, so that two of their outstretched wings touched each other in the middle of the room, and the other two wings touched the walls.
[6:28] The two winged creatures were covered with gold.
[6:29] The walls of the main room and of the inner room were all decorated with carved figures of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers.
[6:30] Even the floor was covered with gold.
[6:31] A double door made of olive wood was set in place at the entrance of the Most Holy Place; the top of the doorway was a pointed arch.
[6:32] The doors were decorated with carved figures of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers. The doors, the winged creatures, and the palm trees were covered with gold.
[6:33] For the entrance to the main room a rectangular doorframe of olive wood was made.
[6:34] There were two folding doors made of pine
[6:35] and decorated with carved figures of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers, which were evenly covered with gold.
[6:36] An inner court was built in front of the Temple, enclosed with walls which had one layer of cedar beams for every three layers of stone.
[6:37] The foundation of the Temple was laid in the second month, the month of Ziv, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign.
[6:38] In the eighth month, the month of Bul, in the eleventh year of Solomon's reign, the Temple was completely finished exactly as it had been planned. It had taken Solomon seven years to build it.
