19 Salomon établit le sanctuaire intérieurement au milieu de la maison, pour y placer l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel.

20 Le sanctuaire avait vingt coudées de longueur, vingt coudées de largeur, et vingt coudées de hauteur. Salomon le couvrit d’or pur. Il fit devant le sanctuaire un autel de bois de cèdre et le couvrit d’or.

21 Il couvrit d’or pur l’intérieur de la maison, et il fit passer le voile dans des chaînettes d’or devant le sanctuaire, qu’il couvrit d’or.

22 Il couvrit d’or toute la maison, la maison tout entière, et il couvrit d’or tout l’autel qui était devant le sanctuaire.
