4The portico at the front of the temple was twenty cubits long across the width of the building and twenty cubits high.He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5He panelled the main hall with juniper and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree and chain designs.
6He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim.
7He overlaid the ceiling beams, door-frames, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
8He built the Most Holy Place, its length corresponding to the width of the temple – twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
