¹⁸ And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of ^(A)hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. ¹⁹ Make one cherub on one end, and one cherub on the other end. ^(B)Of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. ^20 (C)The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; towards the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.

The Tabernacle

26 “Moreover, ^(A)you shall make the ^(B)tabernacle with ten curtains of ^(C)fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns; you shall make them with cherubim ^(D)skilfully worked into them.

^35 (A)He made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; with cherubim skilfully worked into it he made it.

^23 (A)In the inner sanctuary ^(B)he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high. ²⁴ Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the length of the other wing of the cherub; it was ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. ²⁵ The other cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same measure and the same form. ²⁶ The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub. ²⁷ He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house. ^(C)And the wings of the cherubim were spread out so that a wing of one touched one wall, and a wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; their other wings touched each other in the middle of the house. ²⁸ And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

²⁹ Round all the walls of the house he carved engraved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms. ³⁰ The floor of the house he overlaid with gold in the inner and outer rooms.

³¹ For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and the doorposts were five-sided.^{[a] 32} He covered the two doors of olive wood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. He overlaid them with gold and spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.

³³ So also he made for the entrance to the nave doorposts of olive wood, in the form of a square, ³⁴ and two doors of cypress wood. ^(D)The two leaves of one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. ³⁵ On them he carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the carved work. ^36 (E)He built the inner court with three courses of cut stone and one course of cedar beams.
