¹⁹ Then he prepared an inner sanctuary within the house in order to place there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. ²⁰ Now ^[a]the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar with cedar.
