Kings III 6:15-28

¹⁵And he framed the walls of the house within with cedar boards, from the floor of the house and on to the inner walls and to the beams: he lined the parts enclosed with boards within, and compassed the inward parts of the house with planks of fir.

¹⁶And he built the twenty cubits from the top of the wall, one side from the floor to the beams, and he made it from the oracle to the most holy place.

¹⁷And the temple was forty cubits in extent,

¹⁹in front of the oracle in the midst of the house within, in order to put there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

²⁰The length was twenty cubits, and the breadth was twenty cubits, and the height of it was twenty cubits. And he covered it with perfect gold, and he made an altar

²¹in front of the oracle, and covered it with gold.

²²And he covered the whole house with gold, till he had finished gilding the whole house.

²³And he made in the oracle two cherubs of ten cubits measured size.

²⁴And the wing of one cherub was five cubits, and his other wing was five cubits; ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing.

²⁵Thus it was with the other cherub, both were alike finished with one measure.

²⁶And the height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it with the second cherub.

²⁷And both the cherubs were in the midst of the innermost part of the house; and they spread out their wings, and one wing touched the wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings in the midst of the house touched each other.

²⁸And he covered the cherubs with gold.
