1 Four hundred and eighty years after the Israelites left Egypt, in the fourth year of King Solomon’s reign, in the month of Ziv, Solomon began building the Temple of the Lord. 2 The Temple King Solomon built for the Lord measured sixty cubits long by twenty cubits wide by thirty cubits high. 3 The entrance room at the front of the Temple was twenty cubits wide. It ran the whole width of the Temple and projected out ten cubits in front of the Temple.
19 He also had the inner sanctuary made within the Temple where the Ark of the Lord’s Agreement would be placed. 20 The inner sanctuary measured twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He had the interior covered with a coating with pure gold, as well as the altar of cedar.
