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: read more.

Ten cubits, also was the second cherub, - of one size and one shape, were the two cherubim. read more.
The height of the one cherub, was ten cubits, - and, so, of the second cherub.

And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
