27. Formal Translation And he placed the cherubim inside the innermost part of the house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of one touched the wall, and the wing of the other touched the second wall, and their wings met wing to wing in the midst of the house. |
27. Dynamic Translation He set the cherubim in the inner sanctuary of the temple. Their wings were fully extended—one cherub’s wing touched one wall, the other’s touched the opposite wall, and their wings met in the center of the room, touching wing to wing. |
