Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house: the length by cubits(a) after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.

The porch that was in front, its length, across the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

The wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
