27 Then he set the cherubim inside the inner¹ room; and ^athey stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.  ‡

28 Also he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

30 And the floor of the temple he overlaid with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.

31 For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and doorposts were¹ one-fifth of the wall.  ‡
