1 Kings 6:23-33

23In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim 15 feet high out of olive wood.

24One wing of the first cherub was 7½ feet long, and the other wing was 7½ feet long. The wingspan was 15 feet from tip to tip.

25The second cherub also was 15 feet; both cherubim had the same size and shape.

26The first cherub’s height was 15 feet and so was the second cherub’s.

27Then he put the cherubim inside the inner temple. Since their wings were spread out, the first one’s wing touched one wall while the second cherub’s wing touched the other wall, and in the middle of the temple their wings were touching wing to wing.

28He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29He carved all the surrounding temple walls with carved engravings — cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms — in the inner and outer sanctuaries.

30He overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and the outer sanctuaries.

31For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made olive wood doors. The pillars of the doorposts were five-sided.

32The two doors were made of olive wood. He carved cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms on them and overlaid them with gold, hammering gold over the cherubim and palm trees.

33In the same way, he made four-sided olive wood doorposts for the sanctuary entrance.
