And, as for the wings of the cherubim, the length of them, was twenty cubits, - the one wing, by the cubit was five, reaching to the wall of the house, and, the other wing, five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub;

and, the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house, - and, the other wing, was five cubits, cleaving to the wing of the other cherub:

the wings of these cherubim, outspread, were twenty cubits, - and, they themselves, were standing upon their feet, and, their faces, were inward.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh into the place thereof, into the shrine of the house, into the holy of holies, - into the place beneath the wings of the cherubim; -

for the cherubim were spreading forth two wings, over the place of the ark, - so that the cherubim formed a covering over the ark and over the staves thereof, from above.
