  • Hiligaynon: “These two cherubim were of the same size and also the same in shape. Each one has two wings, and each wing has a length of seven and a half feet. Therefore the length from the tip of the other wing up to the tip of the other wing was 15 feet.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They each were the same size and had the same shape. They each had two wings which were spread out. Each wing was 7-1/2 feet long, with the result that the distance between the outer ends of the two wings was 15 feet.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
