1 Then Solomon8010 began2490 to build1129 853 the house1004 of the LORD3068 at Jerusalem3389 in mount2022 Moriah,4179 where834 the LORD appeared7200 unto David1732 his father,1 in the place4725 that834 David1732 had prepared3559 in the threshingfloor1637 of Ornan771 the Jebusite.2983

10 And in the most holy6944 6944 house1004 he made6213 two8147 cherubims3742 of image6816 work,4639 and overlaid6823 them with gold.2091

11 And the wings3671 of the cherubims3742 were twenty6242 cubits520 long:753 one259 wing3671 of the one cherub was five2568 cubits,520 reaching5060 to the wall7023 of the house:1004 and the other312 wing3671 was likewise five2568 cubits,520 reaching5060 to the wing3671 of the other312 cherub.3742

13 The wings3671 of these428 cherubims3742 spread themselves forth6566 twenty6242 cubits:520 and they1992 stood5975 on5921 their feet,7272 and their faces6440 were inward.1004

14 And he made6213 853 the veil6532 of blue,8504 and purple,713 and crimson,3758 and fine linen,948 and wrought5927 cherubims3742 thereon.5921
