House he sheathed cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. |
| 6

And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty; the gold [was] gold Parvaim. |
| 7

He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors with gold, and carved cherubim on the walls. |
| 8

And he made the most holy place, the length by the breadth of the house twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits; and he covered it with fine gold, to six hundred talents. |

The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. The upper chamber is also covered with gold.

The wings of these cherubim [were] spread out twenty cubits; and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward. |

Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital on top of each was five cubits. |

And he made chains [as] in the oracle, and put them on top of the pillars, and made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. |
| 17

And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right side, one on the left, and gave the name of the right Jachin, and the name of the left Boaz. |
