1 Kings 6:27-47

²⁷ and he setteth the cherubs in the midst of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubs, and a wing of the one cometh against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is coming against the second wall, and their wings 'are' unto the midst of the house, coming wing against wing; ²⁸ and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold, ²⁹ and all the walls of the house round about he hath carved with openings of carvings, cherubs, and palm trees, and openings of flowers, within and without. ³⁰ And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold, within and without; ³¹ as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth. ³² And the two doors 'are' of the oil-tree, and he hath carved upon them carvings of cherubs, and palm-trees, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causeth the gold to go down on the cherubs and on the palm-trees. ³³ And so he hath made for the opening of the temple, side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth. ³⁴ And the two doors 'are' of fir-tree, the two sides of the one door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door are revolving. ³⁵ And he hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work. ³⁶ And he buildeth the inner court, three rows of hewn work, and a row of beams of cedar. ³⁷ In the fourth year hath the house of Jehovah been founded, in the month Zif, ³⁸ and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul—'that is' the eighth month—hath the house been finished in all its matters, and in all its ordinances, and he buildeth it seven years.
