(11) And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long.Their length was, altogether, twenty cubits; so that, being outspread, they reached from wall to wall of the Holy of holies, which was twenty cubits wide. Of this breadth each cherub covered half, or ten cubits, with his wings, which were five cubits apiece in length. Obviously the inner wing of each cherub met the inner wing of the other in the middle of the wall.
One wing . . . other cherub.The wing of the one, extending to five cubits, was touching the wall of the chamber, and the other wingfive cubitswas touching the wing of the other cherub.

2Ch 3:11-13. The wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long Which was just the breadth of the most holy place. And they stood on their feet As servants, being designed, it seems, to represent the angels, those ministers of God who do his pleasure, Psa 103:21, and who always attend the Divine Majesty. And their faces were inward Toward the ark, that it might appear they were not set there to be adored, for then they would have been formed as sitting on a throne, and their faces would have been toward their worshippers.
