'Rafters' in the Bible
He finished building the temple and covered it with rafters and boards made of cedar.
He constructed the walls inside the temple with cedar planks; he paneled the inside with wood from the floor of the temple to the rafters of the ceiling. He covered the temple floor with boards made from the wood of evergreens.
He built a wall 30 feet in from the rear of the temple as a partition for an inner sanctuary that would be the most holy place. He paneled the wall with cedar planks from the floor to the rafters.
He also made a throne room, called "The Hall of Judgment," where he made judicial decisions. It was paneled with cedar from the floor to the rafters.
He overlaid the temple's rafters, thresholds, walls and doors with gold; he carved decorative cherubim on the walls.
They gave money to the craftsmen and builders to buy chiseled stone and wood for the braces and rafters of the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to fall into disrepair.
the cedars are the beams of our bedroom chamber; the pines are the rafters of our bedroom.
For the stones in the walls will cry out, and the wooden rafters will answer back.
