11. And the Devar Hashem came to Sh'lomo, saying,
12. Concerning this Beis [Hamikdash] which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in My statutes, and execute My judgments, and be shomer over all My mitzvot to walk in them; then will I perform My word (promise) with thee, which I spoke unto Dovid thy father;
13. And I will dwell among the Bnei Yisroel, and will not forsake My people Yisroel.
14. So Sh'lomo built the Beis [Hamikdash], and finished it.
15. And he built the walls of the Beis [Hamikdash] within with boards of cedar, from the floor of the Beis [Hamikdash] to the rafters of the ceiling; and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the Beis [Hamikdash] with planks of cypress.
16. And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the Beis [Hamikdash], from the floor to the rafters with boards of cedar; he even built them for it within, even for the Debir, even for the Kodesh HaKodashim.
17. And the Beis, that is, the Heikhal in front of it, was forty cubits long.
18. And the cedar of the Beis [Hamikdash] within was carved with gourds and open flowers; all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19. And the Devir he prepared in the Beis [Hamikdash] within, to set there the Aron Brit Hashem.
20. And the Devir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure zahav (gold); and so covered the mizbe'ach which was of cedar.
21. So Sh'lomo overlaid the Beis [Hamikdash] within with pure zahav (gold); and he drew chains of zahav (gold) across, in front of the Devir; and he overlaid it with zahav.
22. And the whole interior he overlaid with zahav (gold), in order that kol haBeis be perfect; also the whole Mizbe'ach that belonged to the Devir he overlaid with zahav (gold).
23. And within the Devir he made two keruvim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
24. And five cubits was the one wing of the keruv, and five cubits the other wing of the keruv; from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25. And the other keruv was ten cubits; both the keruvim were of one measure and one size.
26. The height of the one keruv was ten cubits, and so was it of the other keruv.
