1 Kings 6:16

House — That is, the most holy place, which contained in length twenty cubits, which may be said to be on the sides Of the house, because this part took off twenty cubits in length from each side of the house, and was also twenty cubits from side to side, so it was twenty cubits every way. The oracle — the most holy place — The last words are added, to explain what he means by the word oracle, which he had not used before.
