New Testament

2 Chronicles 3:8-16 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. Also, he made the house of the Holy of Holies. Its length, in accord with the width of the temple, was of twenty cubits. And its width, similarly, was of twenty cubits. And he covered it with layers of gold, of about six hundred talents.

9. Then he also made nails of gold, such that each nail weighed fifty shekels. Also, he covered the upper rooms in gold.

10. Now he also made, in the house of the Holy of Holies, two cherubim as a work of statues. And he covered them with gold.

11. The wings of the cherubim extended for twenty cubits, such that one wing had five cubits and it touched the wall of the house, and the other, having five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub.

12. Similarly, the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, and it touched the wall, and his other wing of five cubits also touched the wing of the other cherub.

13. And so the wings of both cherubim were stretched out and extended for twenty cubits. Now they were standing upright on their feet, and their faces were turned toward the exterior house.

14. Also, he made a veil from hyacinth, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. And he wove within it cherubim.

15. And also, before the doors of the temple, there were two pillars, having a height of thirty-five cubits. But their heads were of five cubits.

16. Then too, there were something like little chains on the oracle, and he placed these upon the heads of the pillars. And there were one hundred pomegranates, which he placed between the little chains.
