"And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, the golden table for the bread of the Presence," — The *inner furnishings* are *gold*: the *altar of incense* (*miz-beach ha-zahav*) and the *table for the bread of the Presence* (*shulchan ha-lechem)*. The *golden furnishings* contrast with the *bronze vessels*, suggesting *graduated holiness*: bronze for *outer courtyard*, gold for *inner sanctuary*.
