1 Kings 6:24-36

²⁴Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.

²⁵The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

²⁶One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.

²⁷He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.

²⁸He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

²⁹He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.

³⁰He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.

³¹For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.

³²So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.

³³He also made the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall,

³⁴and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

³⁵He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.

³⁶He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and a course of cedar beams.
