He placed the cherubim in the middle of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubim; the wing of the first cherub touched against the wall and the wing of the second cherub [was] touching against the second wall; their wings [spread] to the middle of the house [and were] touching wing to wing.

The second cherub also had a wingspan of 15 feet; it was identical to the first in measurements and shape.

The first cherub’s height was 15 feet and so was the second cherub’s.

The two doors were made of cypress wood; the first door had two folding sides, and the second door had two folding panels.

He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars; 7½ feet was the height of the first capital, and 7½ feet was also the height of the second capital.

The capitals on top of the pillars had gratings of latticework, wreaths made of chainwork—seven for the first capital and seven for the second.

He it was who made the two brass pillars; the first pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits went round it; and the second was the same.

Five cubits [was] the first wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second wing of the cherub, from the tip of his [one] wing up to the tip of his [other] wing.

And he said - Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said - Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

And he put the wood in order, and, cutting up the ox, put it on the wood. Then he said, Get four vessels full of water and put it on the burned offering and on the wood. And he said, Do it a second time, and they did it a second time;

then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon, a second time, - as he appeared unto him, in Gibeon.

And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.

Now, Nadab son of Jeroboam, began to reign over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, - and he reigned over Israel, two years.

And the messenger of Yahweh came again a second time, and touched him, and said - Rise, eat, - because, too much for thee, is the journey.
