Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.stylus7Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.stylusDeuteronomy 27:5, Deuteronomy 27:6, Deuteronomy 27:5, Deuteronomy 27:6, 1 Peter 2:58The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house.

Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.stylus1 Kings 6:2, 1 Kings 6:3, 1 Kings 6:22, 1 Kings 7:48, Exodus 30:121Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.stylusExodus 26:32, Exodus 26:33, Exodus 36:34, Exodus 26:29, 1 Kings 6:522And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold.
