1 Kings 6:24-36

²⁴One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.

²⁵The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:

²⁶That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.

²⁷And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.

²⁸And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.

²⁹And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.

³⁰And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.

³¹And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,

³²And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.

³³And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:

³⁴And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.

³⁵And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.

³⁶And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.
