1 Kings 6:19-28

19Then he preparedH3559 an innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 withinH8432 the houseH1004 in order to placeH5414 thereH8033 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068. 201The innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in widthH7341, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in heightH6967, and he overlaidH6823 it with pureH5462 goldH2091. He also overlaidH6823 the altarH4196 with cedarH730. 21So SolomonH8010 overlaidH6823 the insideH4480H6441 of the houseH1004 with pureH5462 goldH2091. And he drewH5674 chainsH7569 of goldH2091 acrossH5674 the frontH6440 of the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687, and he overlaidH6823 it with goldH2091. 22He overlaidH6823 the wholeH3605 houseH1004 with goldH2091, untilH5704 allH3605 the houseH1004 was finishedH8552. Also 2the wholeH3605 altarH4196 whichH834 was by the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 he overlaidH6823 with goldH2091.

233Also in the innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687 he madeH6213 twoH8147 cherubimH3742 of oliveH8081 woodH6086, each tenH6235 cubitsH520 highH6967. 24FiveH2568 cubitsH520 was the oneH259 wingH3671 of the cherubH3742 and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 the otherH8145 wingH3671 of the cherubH3742; from the endH7098 of one wingH3671 to the endH7098 of the other wingH3671 were tenH6235 cubitsH520. 25The otherH8145 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520; bothH8147 the cherubimH3742 were of the sameH259 measureH4060 and the sameH259 formH7095. 26The heightH6967 of the oneH259 cherubH3742 was tenH6235 cubitsH520, and soH3651 was the otherH8145 cherubH3742. 27He placedH5414 the cherubimH3742 in the midstH8432 of the innerH6442 houseH1004, and 4the wingsH3671 of the cherubimH3742 were spreadH6566 out, so that the wingH3671 of the oneH259 was touchingH5060 the one wallH7023, and the wingH3671 of the otherH8145 cherubH3742 was touchingH5060 the otherH8145 wallH7023. So their wingsH3671 were touchingH5060 eachH3671 otherH3671 in the centerH8432 of the houseH1004. 28He also overlaidH6823 the cherubimH3742 with goldH2091.
