1 Reyes 6:27

27 Colocó los querubines en medio de la casa interior; las alas de los querubines se extendían de modo que el ala del uno tocaba una pared y el ala del otro querubín tocaba la otra pared. Sus otras dos alas se tocaban ala con ala en el centro de la casa.

1 Reyes 6:27 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:27

And he set the cherubim within the inner house
The holy of holies:

and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims;
the carvers that framed them, they wrought them in that form; or impersonally, the wings of the cherubim were stretched out; this was the position of them, they overshadowed and covered the mercy seat and ark, and even the other two cherubim that were at the ends of the mercy seat:

so that the wing of the one touched the one wall;
the southern wall:

and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall;
the northern wall; they reached from wall to wall, even the whole breadth of the house, which was twenty cubits, as their wings thus spread were, ( 1 Kings 6:24 1 Kings 6:25 ) ( 2 Chronicles 3:11 ) ;

and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house;
which was ten cubits, and that was the spread of the wings of each of them; so that the wing of the right side of the one, stretched out, touched the wing of the left side of the other fit the same position; in ( 2 Chronicles 3:13 ) ; their faces are said to be "inward", or "toward the house"; either toward the holy place, and so faced those that came into that and saw them; or towards the inner part of the holy of holies, their backs being to the holy place, or their faces were inward, and looked obliquely to each other.

1 Reyes 6:27 In-Context

25 El otro querubín también medía diez codos; ambos querubines tenían la misma medida y la misma forma.
26 La altura de uno de los querubines era de diez codos, y asimismo la del otro querubín.
27 Colocó los querubines en medio de la casa interior; las alas de los querubines se extendían de modo que el ala del uno tocaba una pared y el ala del otro querubín tocaba la otra pared. Sus otras dos alas se tocaban ala con ala en el centro de la casa.
28 También revistió de oro los querubines.
29 Luego talló todas las paredes de la casa en derredor con grabados de figuras de querubines, palmeras y flores, el santuario interior y el exterior.
