He also overlaid the house, the beams, the posts, and its walls, and its doors, with gold. And he engraved cherubs on the walls.

And in the most holy house he made two cherubs of carved work, and overlaid them with gold.

The combined wing span of the cherubs was 30 feet. One of the first cherub's wings was seven and one-half feet long and touched one wall of the temple; its other wing was also seven and one-half feet long and touched one of the second cherub's wings.

The wings of these cherubs are spreading forth twenty cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces are inward.

And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and worked cherubs on it.

The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its assigned place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, in the most holy place under the wings of the cherubs.

The cherubs' wings extended over the place where the ark sat; the cherubs overshadowed the ark and its poles.

The wing of the other cherub was 7½ feet, touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7½ feet, reaching the wing of the other cherub.
