11. Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
12. Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes, execute My precepts, and keep all My commandments to walk in them, then I will fulfill to you My promises which I made to David your father.
13. And I will dwell among the Israelites and will not forsake My people Israel.
14. So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15. He built the walls of the house (the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies) within with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the rafters of the ceiling. He covered the inside with wood, and the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
16. He built twenty cubits of the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the rafters; he built it within for the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies.
17. The [rest of the] house, that is, the temple in front of the Holy of Holies, was forty cubits long.
