Melachim Alef 6:22-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

22. And the whole interior he overlaid with zahav (gold), in order that kol haBeis be perfect; also the whole Mizbe'ach that belonged to the Devir he overlaid with zahav (gold).

23. And within the Devir he made two keruvim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

24. And five cubits was the one wing of the keruv, and five cubits the other wing of the keruv; from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

25. And the other keruv was ten cubits; both the keruvim were of one measure and one size.

26. The height of the one keruv was ten cubits, and so was it of the other keruv.

27. And he set the keruvim within the inner room; and they stretched forth the wings of the keruvim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other keruv touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of HaBayit.

28. And he overlaid the keruvim with zahav (gold).

29. And he carved all the walls of the Beis [Hamikdash] round about with carved figures of keruvim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.

30. And the floor of the Beis [Hamikdash] he overlaid with zahav (gold), within and without.

31. And for the entering of the Devir he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and the five-sided door posts.
