2 Chronicles 3:1-14

Then Solomon began  to build the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah  where the Lord   had appeared to his father David, at the site David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan  the Jebusite. He began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign. These are Solomon’s foundations  for building God’s temple: the length  was ninety feet,  and the width thirty feet.  The portico, which was across the front extending across the width of the temple, was thirty feet wide; its height was thirty feet;  he overlaid its inner surface with pure gold. The larger room  he paneled with cypress wood, overlaid with fine gold, and decorated with palm trees and chains. He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was the gold of Parvaim. He overlaid the temple — the beams, the thresholds, its walls and doors — with gold,  and he carved cherubim on the walls.  Then he made the most holy place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple, 30 feet, and its width was 30 feet.  He overlaid it with forty-five thousand pounds  of fine gold. The weight of the nails was twenty ounces  of gold, and he overlaid the ceiling with gold. He made  two cherubim of sculptured work, for the most holy place, and he overlaid them with gold. The overall length of the wings of the cherubim was 30 feet: the wing of one was 7 1/2 feet,  touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7 1/2 feet, touching the wing of the other cherub. The wing of the other  cherub was 7 1/2 feet, touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7 1/2 feet, reaching the wing of the other cherub. The wingspan of these cherubim was 30 feet. They stood on their feet and faced the larger room.  He made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, and he wove cherubim into it.
