33. So also made he for the entering of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;

34. and two doors of fir wood; the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

35. And he carved thereon cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.

36. And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.
