3 These were the specifications laid down by Solomon for building the house of God: the length was sixty cubits according to the old measure, and the width was twenty cubits;

4 the front porch along the width of the house was also twenty cubits, and it was twenty cubits high. He covered its interior with pure gold.

5 The nave he overlaid with cypress wood and overlaid that with fine gold, embossing on it palms and chains.

6 He also covered the house with precious stones for splendor; the gold was from Parvaim.

7 The house, its beams and thresholds, as well as its walls and its doors, he overlaid with gold, and he engraved cherubim upon the walls.
