Verse 18 is found in chapter 6 of 1 Kings. The temple interior is covered with wood and gold, and the Most Holy Place receives especially elaborate treatment. The cherubim and golden covering emphasize the separation and dignity of the space where divine presence is symbolized. The description does not intend to present God as physically confined to the building; rather, it shows how Israel ritually organizes a space dedicated to the name of the Lord.

Inwendig war das ganze Haus eitel Zedern mit gedrehten Knoten und Blumenwerk, daß man keinen Stein sah.
Y la casa estaba cubierta de cedro por de dentro, y tenía entalladuras de calabazas silvestres y de botones de flores. Todo era cedro; ninguna piedra se veía.
El cedro del interior de la casa tenía tallas de calabazas y flores abiertas. Todo era cedro; no se veía ninguna piedra.
Le bois de cèdre à l'intérieur de la maison offrait des sculptures de coloquintes et de fleurs épanouies; tout était de cèdre, on ne voyait aucune pierre.
E il legno di cedro, ch’era dentro la Casa, era intagliato di coloquintide, e di fiori aperti; ogni cosa era di cedro, non si vedeva alcuna pietra.
E o cedro da casa por dentro era lavrado de botões e flores abertas; tudo era cedro, pedra nenhuma se via.
殿裏一點石頭都不顯露,一概用香柏木遮蔽;香柏木上刻著野瓜和綻開的花。
