25. The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

26. One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.

27. He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.

28. He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29. He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.

30. He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.

31. For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.

33. He also did so for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;

34. and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
