The two cherubim of olive wood in the inner sanctuary
내소 안에 감람목으로 만든 두 그룹
1 Kings 6:23–30: the text says, “In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.” Five 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. The other cherub was ten cubits; both the cherubim were of one measure and one form, and one cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub. He sets 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. He overlays the cherubim with gold. He carves all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside, and he overlays the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside. At 6:27, where WEB has “He set the cherubim”, the Korean Revised Version names Solomon: 솔로몬이 내소 가운데 그룹을 두었으니, Solomon set the cherubim in the inner sanctuary.
