15 He lined the walls ⌊of the inside of the house⌋t with boards of cedar; from the floor of the templeu up to the rafters of the ceiling he covered them with wood ⌊on the inside⌋.v He also covered the floor of the templew with cypress boards. 16 He built twenty cubits from the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor up to the ceiling, and he built for it an inner sanctuary on the inside, as the ⌊most holy place⌋.x 17 The main hall of the templey was forty cubits ⌊in front of the inner sanctuary⌋,z 18 with the cedar within the inner house having carvings of gourds and buds of flowers. It was entirely of cedar; there was not a stone visible. 19 Now in the inner sanctuary in the middle of the templea he prepared the inside to place the ark of the covenant of Yahweh there. 20 In front, the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold and covered the altar with cedar. 21 Solomon overlaid the templeb on the inside with pure gold, and he drew across it with golden chains in front of the inner sanctuary, which he overlaid with gold.
