The second creature's other wing touched the first creature's wing, and it was also seven and one-half feet long. 13 Together, the creatures' wings were thirty feet across. The creatures stood on their feet, facing the main room. 14 He made the curtain of blue, purple, and red thread, and expensive linen, and he put designs of creatures with wings in it. 15 He made two pillars to stand in front of the Temple. They were about fifty-two feet tall, and the capital of each pillar was over seven feet tall. 16 He made a net of chains and put them on the tops of the pillars.
