And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
The inner walls were lined with cedar carved with buds and open flowers, so that the stone walls were entirely hidden and none remained visible. The permanent temple followed the proportions and arrangement of the tabernacle, but was built on a larger scale.
Its richness, beauty, and costly design could not be excelled, making it the most magnificent building the world ever saw. It was built in faithful obedience to God's directions, by the wise and understanding heart God had given, which had been chosen above earthly riches, honor, and long life. Faithful work in directing and managing its construction spread fame among all nations.
