1 Kings 6:24-36

²⁴Both wings of the cherub measured five cubits, making a total wingspan of ten cubits.

²⁵The other cherub was also ten cubits tall, since they were identical both in size and shape.

²⁶Both cherubs were ten cubits tall.

²⁷He had the cherubim placed inside the inner sanctuary of the Temple. Since their wings were fully spread, a wing of the first cherub touched one wall, a wing of the second cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the Temple their wings touched.

²⁸The cherubim were also covered with a gold coating.

²⁹He had all the Temple walls, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.

³⁰He also had the floor of the Temple floor covered with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.

³¹He had doors of olive wood made for the entrance to the inner sanctuary, together with a lintel and doorposts that had five sides.

³²These olive wood double doors had carved into them designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. The cherubim and palm trees carvings were covered with beaten gold.

³³Similarly he had four-sided doorposts of olive wood made for the entrance to the sanctuary.

³⁴Its doors were made of cypress wood, each with two hinged panels.

³⁵He had them carved with designs of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and covered them with gold beaten evenly over the carvings.

³⁶Solomon had the inner courtyard built with three courses of dressed stone and one of cedar beams.
