First Kings 6:24-36

²⁴One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and its other wing was also five cubits long. So from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other there was a distance of ten cubits.

²⁵The other cherub also had a wingspan ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of the same dimensions and shape.

²⁶The height of one cherub was ten cubits and the other cherub was the same.

²⁷Solomon placed the cherubim in the innermost room. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out so that the wing of one touched one wall and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. Their wings touched one another in the middle of the most holy place.

²⁸Solomon overlaid the cherubim with gold.

²⁹He carved all the walls of the house around about with figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, in the outer and inner rooms.

³⁰Solomon overlaid the floor of the house with gold, in both the outer and inner rooms.

³¹Solomon made doors of olivewood for the entrance to the inner room. The lintel and doorposts had five indented sections.

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

³³In this way, Solomon also made for the temple entrance doorposts of olive wood having four indented sections

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 on them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and he evenly overlaid gold on the carved work.

³⁶He built the inner courtyard with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams.
