1 Kings 6:15

6:15 He constructed the walls inside the temple with cedar planks; he paneled the inside with wood from the floor of the temple to the rafters ¹  of the ceiling. He covered the temple floor with boards made from the wood of evergreens.

1 Kings 6:27

6:27 He put the cherubs in the inner sanctuary of the temple. ²  Their wings were spread out. One of the first cherub’s wings touched one wall and one of the other cherub’s wings touched the opposite wall. The first cherub’s other wing touched the second cherub’s other wing in the middle of the room. ³ 

¹ tc The MT reads קִירוֹת (qirot, “walls”), but this should be emended to קוֹרוֹת (qorot, “rafters”). See BDB 900 s.v. קוֹרָה.

² tn Heb “in the midst of the inner house,” i.e., in the inner sanctuary.

³ tn Heb “and their wings were in the middle of the room, touching wing to wing.”
