uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠בַּ֣יִת הַ⁠פְּנִימִ֗י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_gave DOM the,cherubim in_the=middle of,the_house (the),inner and,they_spread_out DOM wings_of the=cherubims and,it_touched wing_of the=one (in),wall and,the_wing_of of,the_cherub the=second touching (in),wall the=second and,wings_of,their to/towards middle_of of,the_house touching wing/corner/skirt to/towards wing/corner/skirt )

Here the author uses the expression the inner house to mean the same part of the temple that he calls “the inner sanctuary” in the rest of this chapter. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the inner sanctuary]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וַֽ⁠יִּפְרְשׂוּ֮ אֶת־כַּנְפֵ֣י הַ⁠כְּרֻבִים֒

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_gave DOM the,cherubim in_the=middle of,the_house (the),inner and,they_spread_out DOM wings_of the=cherubims and,it_touched wing_of the=one (in),wall and,the_wing_of of,the_cherub the=second touching (in),wall the=second and,wings_of,their to/towards middle_of of,the_house touching wing/corner/skirt to/towards wing/corner/skirt )

Here the author is using the pronoun they in a general sense, not to refer to specific people. He is putting the focus on the way the wings of the cherubs spread out across the whole width of the Holy of Holies, not on who put them in this position. Use an expression to convey this meaning that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And the wings of the cherubs were spread out] or [And the wings of the cherubs extended outward]
