1 Kings 6:23-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.

²⁴ One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.

²⁵ The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:

²⁶ That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.

²⁷ And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.

²⁸ And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
