He|strong="H0853" put the|strong="H0853" gold|strong="H2091" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" ceiling|strong="H7023" beams|strong="H6982", doorposts, walls|strong="H7023", and|strong="H1004" doors|strong="H1817".

This|strong="H6944" room|strong="H1004" was|strong="H1004" 20 cubits|strong="H0520" long|strong="H0753" and|strong="H3967" 20 cubits|strong="H0520" wide|strong="H7341". It|strong="H5921" was|strong="H1004" as|strong="H1004" wide|strong="H7341" as|strong="H1004" the|strong="H0853" Temple|strong="H1004" was|strong="H1004".

The|strong="H0853" workers|strong="H6213" covered the|strong="H0853" Cherub|strong="H3742" angels with|strong="H1004" gold|strong="H2091".
11 Each|strong="H0259" wing|strong="H3671" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" Cherub|strong="H3742" angels was|strong="H0259" 5 cubits|strong="H0520" long|strong="H0753". The|strong="H5060" total length|strong="H0753" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" wings|strong="H3671" was|strong="H0259" 20 cubits|strong="H0520". One|strong="H0259" wing|strong="H3671" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" first|strong="H0259" Cherub|strong="H3742" angel touched|strong="H5060" the|strong="H5060" wall|strong="H7023" on|strong="H1004" one|strong="H0259" side|strong="H7023" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" room|strong="H1004". The|strong="H5060" other|strong="H0312" wing|strong="H3671" touched|strong="H5060" one|strong="H0259" wing|strong="H3671" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" second Cherub|strong="H3742" angel.
12 And|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" other|strong="H0312" wing|strong="H3671" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" second Cherub|strong="H3742" angel touched|strong="H5060" the|strong="H5060" wall|strong="H7023" on|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" other|strong="H0312" side|strong="H7023" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H5060" room|strong="H1004".
13 So|strong="H5975" the|strong="H6440" wings|strong="H3671" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H6440" two|strong="H1004" Cherub|strong="H3742" angels together|strong="H5921" reached|strong="H5921" across|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" room|strong="H1004"—a|strong="H5921" total of|strong="H1004" 20 cubits|strong="H0520".

There|strong="H5927" were|strong="H3742" Cherub|strong="H3742" angels on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" curtain|strong="H6532".
15 He|strong="H0834" put two|strong="H8147" columns|strong="H5982" in|strong="H5921" front|strong="H6440" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H6440" Temple|strong="H1004". The|strong="H6440" columns|strong="H5982" were|strong="H0834" 35 cubits|strong="H0520" tall.
