1 Kings 6:23-28

New Catholic Bible

²³ He made two cherubim for the inner sanctuary out of olive wood, each ten cubits high. ²⁴ The first wing of the cherub was five cubits and the other wing was also five cubits, making ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. ²⁵ The other cherub was also ten cubits, for the two cherubim were the same size and shape. ²⁶ Each of the cherubim was ten cubits high. ²⁷ He set the cherubim in the innermost room of the temple. The wings of the cherubim were spread out, so that the wing of one touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched one another in the middle of the room. ²⁸ He covered the cherubim with gold.
