²¹ And Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and overlaid it with gold.

^14 (A)And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it.

^15 (B)In front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each. ¹⁶ He made chains like a necklace^[a] and put them on the tops of the pillars, and he made a hundred pomegranates and put them on the chains.

⁷ So he lined the house with gold—its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors—^(A)and he carved cherubim on the walls.

^8 (B)And he made the Most Holy Place. Its length, corresponding to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and its breadth was twenty cubits. He overlaid it with 600 talents^[a] of fine gold. ⁹ The weight of gold for the nails was fifty shekels.^[b] And he overlaid ^(C)the upper chambers with gold.

^5 (A)He also built a structure^[a] against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and ^(B)the inner sanctuary. And he made ^(C)side chambers all around.

³⁴ And he overlaid the frames with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
