23In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high.

24And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second wing of the cherub; ten cubits from the end of its wings to the end of its wings.

25And the second cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim had one measure and one form.

26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so it was with the second cherub.
