1 Kings 6:22-30 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

22. Thus he overlaid the entire House with gold, until the entire House was completed. And the entire altar that was by the Speaking Place he overlaid with gold.

23. And inside the Speaking Place he made two keruḇim of olive wood, ten cubits high.

24. And one wing of the keruḇ was five cubits, and the other wing of the keruḇ five cubits – ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.

25. And the other keruḇ was ten cubits. Both keruḇim were of the same size and shape.

26. The height of one keruḇ was ten cubits, and so was the other keruḇ.

27. And he placed the keruḇim in the midst of the inner house. And they stretched out the wings of the keruḇim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other keruḇ touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.

28. And he overlaid the keruḇim with gold.

29. And he carved all the walls of the House all around, both inside and outside, with carved figures of keruḇim, and palm trees, and open flowers.

30. And he overlaid the floor of the House with gold, inside and outside.
