15 E preparou as paredes da casa por de dentro com tábuas de cedro, revestindo-a de madeira por dentro, desde o piso da casa até as paredes do teto: cobriu também o pavimento com madeira de faia.

16 Também fez ao fim da casa um edifício de vinte côvados de tábuas de cedro, desde o piso até o mais alto; e fabricou-se na casa um compartimento interno, que é o lugar santíssimo.

17 E a casa, a saber, o templo de dentro, tinha quarenta côvados.

18 E a casa estava coberta de cedro por de dentro, e tinha entalhaduras de frutos silvestres e de botões de flores. Todo era cedro; nenhuma pedra se via.

19 E adornou o compartimento interno por de dentro no meio da casa, para pôr ali a arca do pacto do SENHOR.
