2 Chronicles 3:11

3:11 The combined wing span of the cherubs was 30 feet. ¹  One of the first cherub’s wings was seven and one-half feet long and touched one wall of the temple; its other wing was also seven and one-half feet long and touched one of the second cherub’s wings. ² 

2 Chronicles 7:6

7:6 The priests stood in their assigned spots, along with the Levites who had the musical instruments used for praising the Lord. ³  (These were the ones King David made for giving thanks to the Lord and which were used by David when he offered praise, saying, “Certainly his loyal love endures.”) ⁴  Opposite the Levites, ⁵  the priests were blowing the trumpets, while all Israel stood there.

¹ tn Heb “and the wings of the cherubs, their length was twenty cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the wingspan of the cherubs would have been 30 feet (9 m).

² tn Heb “the wing of the one was five cubits from the touching of the wall of the house, and the other wing was five cubits from the touching of the wing of the other cherub.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), each wing would have been 7.5 feet (2.25 m) long.

³ tn Heb “and the priests were standing at their posts, and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord.”

⁴ tn Heb “which David the king made to give thanks to the Lord, for lasting is his loyal love, when David praised by them.”

⁵ tn Heb “opposite them”; the referent (the Levites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
