2 Chronicles 3:12-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. The wing of the cherub, five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and the other wing, five cubits, was joined to the wing of the other cherub.

13. The combined wingspread of the two cherubim was thus twenty cubits. They stood upon their own feet, facing toward the nave.

14. He made the veil of violet, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and had cherubim embroidered upon it.

15. In front of the house he set two columns thirty-five cubits high; the capital of each was five cubits.

16. He devised chains in the form of a collar with which he encircled the capitals of the columns, and he made a hundred pomegranates which he set on the chains.

17. He set up the columns to correspond with the nave, one for the right side and the other for the left, and he called the one to the right Jachin and the one to the left Boaz.
