Exodus 25:18-22
You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work at the two ends of the atoning cover.Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the atoning cover at its two ends.And the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover.Then you shall put the atoning cover on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you.There I will meet with you; and from above the atoning cover, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.

Exodus 30:1-10
“ Now you shall make an altar as a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.Its length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit; it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be of one piece with it.You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding all around for it.You shall also make two gold rings for it under its molding; you shall make them on its two sides— on opposite sides— and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it.And you shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.You shall put this altar in front of the veil that is near the ark of the testimony, in front of the atoning cover that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you.Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; he shall burn it every morning when he trims the lamps.And when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense. There shall be perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.You shall not offer any strange incense on this altar, or burnt offering, or meal offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering on it.However, Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”

Ezekiel 1:15-24
Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the ground beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling topaz, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another.Whenever they moved, they moved in any of their four directions without turning as they moved.As for their rims, they were high and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were covered with eyes all around.Whenever the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction. And the wheels rose just as they did; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.Whenever those went, they went; and whenever those stopped, they stopped. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose just as they did; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.Under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had two wings covering its body on the one side and on the other.And I also heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of a crowd like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stopped, they let down their wings.

1 Kings 6 23-1 Kings 6 30
And in the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.The one wing of the first cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the first cherub was five cubits; from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing were ten cubits.The second cherub was ten cubits; both of the cherubim were of the same measurement and the same form.The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub.He placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the wings of the cherubim spread out so that the wing of the one was touching the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub was touching the other wall. And their wings were touching end to end in the center of the house.He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.Then he carved all the surrounding walls of the house with engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, for the inner and outer sanctuaries.And he overlaid the floor of the house with gold, for the inner and outer sanctuaries.

Ezekiel 10:2-22
And He spoke to the man clothed in linen and said,“ Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” And he entered in my sight.Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner courtyard.Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer courtyard, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.And it came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying,“ Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he entered and stood beside a wheel.Then the cherub reached out with his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some coals and put them into the hands of the one clothed in linen; and he took them and went out.The cherubim appeared to have something like a human hand under their wings.Then I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like the gleam of a Tarshish stone.And as for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.When they moved, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which they faced, without turning as they went.And their whole body, their backs, their hands, their wings and the wheels were covered with eyes all around, the wheels belonging to all four of them.The wheels were called, as I heard, the whirling wheels.And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a human, the third, the face of a lion, and the fourth, the face of an eagle.Then the cherubim rose up. They are the living beings that I saw by the river Chebar.Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would move beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels themselves would not turn away from beside them.When the cherubim stood still, the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, the wheels would rise with them, because the spirit of the living beings was in them.Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the ground in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.These are the living beings that I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar; so I knew that they were cherubim.Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and beneath their wings was the form of human hands.As for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one went straight ahead.
