Kings III 6:24-36a

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.

²⁹He graved all the walls of the house round about with the graving of cherubs, and he sculptured palm trees within and without the house.

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

³¹And for the door-way of the oracle he made doors of juniper wood, there were porches in a four-fold way.

³⁴In both the doors were planks of fir; the one door had two leaves and their hinges, and the other door had two leaves and turned on hinges,

³⁵being carved with cherubs, and there were palm-trees and open flower-leaves, and it was overlaid with gold gilt upon the engraving.

³⁶And he built the inner court, three rows of hewn stones, and a row of wrought cedar round about,

^36aand he made the curtain of the court of the porch of the house that was in front of the temple.
