1 Kings 6:23-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

25. Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,

26. that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.

27. And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.

28. He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29. And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.

30. Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.

31. And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
