1 Kings 6:23-33

23Solomon used olive wood to make models of two cherubs to stand in the Most Holy Place. Each cherub was 4.4 metres tall.

24The first cherub had two wings that were 2.2 metres long each. So it was 4.4 metres from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing.

25The second cherub was also 4.4 metres across its wings. The two cherubs were the same size and the same shape.

26Each cherub was 4.4 metres high.

27Solomon put the cherubs in the inside room of the temple. Their wings went from one wall of the temple to the other wall. One cherub's wing touched one wall of the temple. One of the other cherub's wings touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.

28Solomon covered the cherubs with gold.

29Solomon's workers cut pictures in the wood on the walls of the big hall and the inside room. They were pictures of cherubs, palm trees and flowers.

30They also covered the floors of both the rooms with gold.

31They used olive wood to make doors for the entrance to the Most Holy Place. The doors were fixed to wooden pillars which had five sides.

32The wooden doors had pictures of cherubs, palm trees and flowers. Solomon covered the pictures of the cherubs and the palm trees with very thin gold.

33The doors to the big hall of the temple were fixed to pillars made of olive wood. Those pillars had four sides.
