New Testament

1 Kings 6:20-28 New Century Version (NCV)

20. This inner room was thirty feet long, thirty feet wide, and thirty feet high. He covered this room with pure gold, and he also covered the altar of cedar.

21. He covered the inside of the Temple with pure gold, placing gold chains across the front of the inner room, which was also covered with gold.

22. So all the inside of the Temple, as well as the altar of the Most Holy Place, was covered with gold.

23. Solomon made two creatures from olive wood and placed them in the Most Holy Place. Each creature was fifteen feet tall

24. and had two wings. Each wing was seven and one-half feet long, so it was fifteen feet from the end of one wing to the end of the other.

25. The creatures were the same size and shape;

26. each was fifteen feet tall.

27. These creatures were put beside each other in the Most Holy Place with their wings spread out. One creature’s wing touched one wall, and the other creature’s wing touched the other wall with their wings touching each other in the middle of the room.

28. These two creatures were covered with gold.
