2 Chronicles 3:12
10 In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim of sculptured work, and he overlaid them with gold.
11 The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the wall of the temple, and its other wing was five cubits long and touched the wing of the other cherub.
The wing of the second cherub also measured five cubits and touched the wall of the temple, while its other wing measured five cubits and touched the wing of the first cherub.
13 So the total wingspan of these cherubim was twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main room.
14 He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim woven into it.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
