2 Chronicles 5:7

⁶The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings. ⁷For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

⁸Arise, LORD, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.

²³In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim^[+] of olive wood, each ten cubits high. ²⁴Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits was the length of the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits. ²⁵The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form. ²⁶One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub. ²⁷He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, 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 middle of the house. ²⁸He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

⁶He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit and a half its width. ⁷He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat: ⁸one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. ⁹The cherubim spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

⁴having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; ⁵and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.

²⁰and the lamp stands with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;
