BRAGADAYJAH 996
Solomon completes and adorns the House of the Lord
And while Solomon was in the process of building the house
of the Lord, the Lord spoke to him and told him, that with regard to the house
he was building that was a fine thing to do; but also if he were to enjoy the
blessings and promises He had made to David his father, he would need also to
keep His commandments, His statutes and judgments. God also promised Solomon
that He would walk among His people the children of Israel, and would not
forsake them. So Solomon continued to build the house and finished it. When he finished the exterior of the house,
Solomon continued to embellish the interior, building the walls within with
cedar, and also the floor and the ceiling, covering the inside walls with wood
and the floor with planks of fir. And he built twenty cubits on both sides of
the house both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar, and decorated the
oracle and most holy place with it. And the house, that is to say the temple in
front of it was forty cubits long. And the cedar of the house within was carved
with gourds and open flowers, all worked with cedar for there were no stones
placed there. And the oracle he prepared in the house within to set there the
ark of the covenant of the Lord. And the oracle in the fore part was twenty
cubits long, and twenty cubits in breath, and twenty cubits in height and after
that he covered it with pure gold, as he did the altar which was of cedar.
