Verse 22 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.

also daß das ganze Haus ganz mit Gold überzogen war; dazu auch den ganzen Altar vor dem Chor überzog er mit Gold.
Cubrió pues de oro toda la casa hasta el cabo; y asimismo vistió de oro todo el altar que estaba delante del oráculo.
Revistió de oro toda la casa hasta cubrirla por completo; también revistió de oro todo el altar que pertenecía al santuario interior.
Il couvrit d'or toute la maison, la maison tout entière, et il couvrit d'or tout l'autel qui était devant le sanctuaire.
Così coperse d’oro interamente tutta la Casa. Coperse eziandio d’oro tutto l’Altare ch’era presso all’Oracolo.
Assim cobriu de ouro toda a casa, inteiramente; também cobriu de ouro todo o altar que estava diante do oráculo.
整個殿都貼上金子,直到貼滿;內殿前的整個壇,也都包上金子。
