2 Chronicles 3:3-5
New Living Translation
3 These are the dimensions Solomon used for the foundation of the Temple of God (using the old standard of measurement).[a] It was 90 feet long and 30 feet wide.[b] 4 The entry room at the front of the Temple was 30 feet[c] wide, running across the entire width of the Temple, and 30 feet[d] high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
5 He paneled the main room of the Temple with cypress wood, overlaid it with fine gold, and decorated it with carvings of palm trees and chains.
