11 A nd the wings of the cherubim extended twenty cubits: one wing of one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house, and its other wing of five cubits touched the other cherub’s wing.

os quais, de asas abertas, mediam juntos nove metros. Cada asa, de dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros, tocava, de um lado, na parede do templo,

16 H e made chains like a necklace and put them on the heads of the pillars, and he made 100 pomegranates and put them on the chains.

17 H e erected the pillars before the temple, one on the right, the other on the left, and called the one on the right Jachin and the one on the left Boaz.

Depois levantou as colunas na frente do templo, uma ao sul, outra ao norte; à que ficava ao sul deu o nome de Jaquim, e à que ficava ao norte, Boaz.
