The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] of the other cherub.	And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, 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 midst of the house.	And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
