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.
