1 Kings 6:19-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

19. Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.

20. And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.

21. Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.

22. And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.

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

24. One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.
