Berean Standard Bible
2 Chronicles 3:8-14
8Then he made the Most Holy Place;1 its length corresponded to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. And he overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.2 9The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold.3 He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
10In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold. 11The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long4 and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub. 12The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub. 13So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
