20 The innermost room was 20 cubits long, 20 cubits wide, and 20 cubits high;+ and he overlaid it with pure gold; he overlaid the altar+ with cedar.

23 In the innermost room he made two cherubs+ of pinewood,* each ten cubits high.+

6 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place,+ into the innermost room of the house, the Most Holy, underneath the wings of the cherubs.+

7 Thus the wings of the cherubs were spread out over the place of the Ark, so that the cherubs overshadowed the Ark and its poles.+ 8 The poles+ were so long that the tips of the poles were visible from the Holy in front of the innermost room, but they were not visible from outside. And they are there to this day. 9 There was nothing in the Ark but the two stone tablets+ that Moses placed there+ at Horʹeb, when Jehovah made a covenant+ with the people of Israel while they were coming out of the land of Egypt.+
