1 Kings 6:19 DBY

¹⁷  And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].

¹⁸  And the cedar of the house within was carved with colocynths and half-open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

¹⁹  And he prepared the oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.

²⁰  And the oracle within was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the cedar-wood altar --

²¹  and Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold, and shut off the oracle in front with chains of gold, and overlaid it with gold.
