Cherubim: 1 Kings 6:23-27
Question
I know you are busy. Can you please confirm the scripture above describes 2 cherubim:
Estimated Height according to cubits = approximately 16 1/2 feet according to cubits specified?
Estimated width of both cherubs wings tip to wing tip = approximately 33 feet
They were located in the inner room = Holy of Holies
SCRIPTURE @ 1 Kings 6:23-27 indicates to me this is true but this is the first time I have seen this.
Answers
Yes, that is approximately correct. There are different opinions as to how long an amah is in today’s measurements, but 16.5 feet and 33 feet fall within the bandwidth.
