1 Kings 6:24

And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.

Ver. 24. And five cubits was the one wing.] This was the extent of their wings taken together with their bodies lying between those wings; unless we shall say with Kimchi, that their wings covered their bodies behind, and so their bodies took up no room, but their wings only in the house's breadth.
