Commentary on 2 Chronicles 3:11

Theological / Devotional

Twenty cubits. That is, the total length of the wings of the two cherubim was 20 cu. Since the most holy place was 20 cu. wide, the outstretched wings of the two cherubim reached from one wall to the other. Each cherub thus covered 10 cu., with 5 cu. being the length of each wing. Thus the outer wing of each cherub touched one of the outer walls of the building, while the inner wing of each touched that of the other.
