New Living Translation

1 Kings 6:34-37 New Living Translation (NLT)

34. There were two folding doors of cypress wood, and each door was hinged to fold back upon itself.

35. These doors were decorated with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers—all overlaid evenly with gold.

36. The walls of the inner courtyard were built so that there was one layer of cedar beams between every three layers of finished stone.

37. The foundation of the lord’s Temple was laid in midspring, in the month of Ziv, during the fourth year of Solomon’s reign.
