The cedar of the house within had carvings of gourds and open flowers. All was cedar. There was no stone seen.
The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long.
He prepared the inner sanctuary in the inner part of the house in order to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Under the brim all the way around there were gourds, ten in one cubit. When it was cast, the gourds were placed in two rows going all the way around it.
But now they break down all its carved work with axes and hammers.
