23. Within the inner sanctuary, he made two cherubim from olive wood, each ten cubits high.
24. One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing was also five cubits. From the furthest part of the one wing to the furthest part of the other was ten cubits.
25. The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were the same shape and size.
26. The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub.
27. He set the cherubim within the inner sanctuary, and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, 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 with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers both inside and out.
30. He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, both inside and out.
31. For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and doorposts were five-sided.
32. The two doors were also made of olive wood. He carved on them cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim and upon the palm trees.
33. So also he made for the entrance to the nave four-sided posts of olive wood.
