1 Kings 6:23-28

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²³ In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim^(A) 4.5 metres^[a] high out of olive wood. ²⁴ One wing of the first cherub was 2.25 metres long, and the other wing was 2.25 metres long. The wingspan was 4.5 metres from tip to tip. ²⁵ The second cherub also was 4.5 metres; both cherubim had the same size and shape. ²⁶ The first cherub’s height was 4.5 metres and so was the second cherub’s. ²⁷ Then he put the cherubim inside the inner temple. Since their wings were spread out, the first one’s wing touched one wall while the second cherub’s wing touched the other^[b] wall, and in the middle of the temple their wings were touching wing to wing.^{(B) 28} He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
