24. One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.
25. The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:
26. That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.
27. And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.
28. And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
29. And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.
30. And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.
31. And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,
32. And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.
33. And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:
34. And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.
35. And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.
36. And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.
37. In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:
38. And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.
