2 Chronicles 3:8-14

8Then he made 1the 2room of the Most Holy Place: its length across the width of the house was 3twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 4six hundred talents. 9The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid 5the upper rooms with gold.

10 6Then he made two 7sculptured cherubim in the room of the Most Holy Place and overlaid them with gold. 11The wingspan of the 8cherubim was twenty 9cubits; the wing of one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub. 12The wing of the other cherub, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house; and its other wing, of five cubits, was attached to the wing of the 10first cherub. 13The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet 11facing the main room. 14 12He made the veil of violet, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and he worked cherubim into it.
