And there was cedar on the house inside, carved with knops and open flowers. All was cedar; there was no stone seen.
And under the brim of it round about there were knops which encompassed it, for ten cubits, encompassing the sea round about. The knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
And the house, that is, the temple in front of [the oracle], was forty cubits [long].
And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house inside, to set there the ark of the covenant of LORD.
And now they break down all the carved work of it with hatchet and hammers.
