The narrative stops and does not resume for six chapters. What replaces it is a specification — gold, silver, bronze, blue, purple, scarlet, linen, acacia, gemstones — collected from anyone whose heart moves him, with no assessment and no penalty. Then the furniture, in the order you would meet it going inward: a gilded chest, a lid of solid gold with two winged figures facing each other, a table with bread always on it, a lampstand described as a flowering almond tree.
