1 Kings 6:23-34 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

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.

31. And for the entrance of the Speaking Place he made doors of olive wood: the lintel, doorposts, a fifth.

32. And the two doors were of olive wood. And he carved on them figures of keruḇim, and palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. And he spread the gold on the keruḇim and on the palm trees.

33. And so he made doorposts for the door of the hĕḵal of olive wood – a fourth part.

34. And the two doors were of cypress wood, the two leaves of the one folded, and two leaves of the other door folded.
