1 Kings 6:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ He separated off twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar planks that ran from the floor to the ceiling, making an inner sanctuary, the Holy of Holies. ¹⁷ The part in front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long. ¹⁸ The inside of the temple was covered with cedar carved with buds and open flowers. Everything was covered in cedar, and no stone could be seen.
