²³ In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim^(A) 15 feet^[a] high out of olive wood. ²⁴ One wing of the first cherub was 7½ feet long,^[b] and the other wing was 7½ feet long. The wingspan was 15 feet^[c] from tip to tip. ²⁵ The second cherub also was 15 feet;^[d] both cherubim had the same size and shape. ²⁶ The first cherub’s height was 15 feet^[e] and so was the second cherub’s. ²⁷ Then he put the cherubim inside the inner temple. Since their wings were spread out, the first one’s wing touched one wall while the second cherub’s wing touched the other^[f] wall, and in the middle of the temple their wings were touching wing to wing.^{(B) 28} He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
