And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub
When stretched out on one side:

1 Kings 6:24 In-Context

22 Nothing was in the temple that was not covered with gold; but also he covered with gold all the altar of God's answering place. (There was nothing in the Temple that was not covered with gold; and he also covered all of the altar for the Inner Temple with gold.)

23 And he made in God's answering place two cherubims of the trees of olives, of ten cubits of height (each ten cubits in height);

24 one wing of (the) cherub was of five cubits, and the tother wing of (the) cherub was (also) of five cubits, that is, having ten cubits, from the highness of the one wing till to the highness of the tother wing.

25 And the second cherub was of ten cubits in even measure; and one work was in the two cherubims, (And the second cherub was also ten cubits in equal measure; and the two cherubim were of the same work, or design,)

26 that is, one cherub had the height of ten cubits, and in like manner the tother cherub.
