¹⁹ He prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.

²⁰ He took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.

²¹ He brought the ark into the tent, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

⁵ Against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about.
