Exodus 25:18-22
Make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat.Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. At its two ends, make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat.The cherubim are to have wings spread out above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and are to face one another. The faces of the cherubim should be toward the mercy seat.Set the mercy seat on top of the ark and put the tablets of the testimony that I will give you into the ark.I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the testimony; I will speak with you from there about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.

Hebrews 10:18-22
Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus—he has inaugurated for us a new and living way through the curtain( that is, through his flesh)—and since we have a great high priest over the house of God,let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water.

When David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, covered in sackcloth, fell facedown.David said to God,“ Wasn’t I the one who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? LORD my God, please let your hand be against me and against my father’s family, but don’t let the plague be against your people.”

Ezekiel 10:2-22
The LORD spoke to the man clothed in linen and said,“ Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with blazing coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” So he went in as I watched.Now the cherubim were standing to the south of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherub to the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the LORD’s glory.The sound of the cherubim’s wings could be heard as far as the outer court; it was like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.After the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying,“ Take fire from inside the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.Then the cherub reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took some and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl.In appearance, all four looked alike, like a wheel within a wheel.When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved. But wherever the head faced, they would go in that direction, without pivoting as they went.Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, wings, and the wheels that the four of them had, were full of eyes all around.As I listened the wheels were called“ the wheelwork.”Each one had four faces: one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a human, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal.When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when they lifted their wings to rise from the earth, even then the wheels did not veer away from them.When the cherubim stopped, the wheels stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.The cherubim lifted their wings and ascended from the earth right before my eyes; the wheels were beside them as they went. The glory of the God of Israel was above them, and it stopped at the entrance to the eastern gate of the LORD’s house.These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Chebar Canal, and I recognized that they were cherubim.Each had four faces and each had four wings, with what looked something like human hands under their wings.Their faces looked like the same faces I had seen by the Chebar Canal. Each creature went straight ahead.

1 Kings 6 25-1 Kings 6 35
The second cherub also was 15 feet; both cherubim had the same size and shape.The first cherub’s height was 15 feet and so was the second cherub’s.Then he put the cherubim inside the inner temple. Since their wings were spread out, the first one’s wing touched one wall while the second cherub’s wing touched the other wall, and in the middle of the temple their wings were touching wing to wing.He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.He carved all the surrounding temple walls with carved engravings— cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms— in the inner and outer sanctuaries.He overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and the outer sanctuaries.For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made olive wood doors. The pillars of the doorposts were five-sided.The two doors were made of olive wood. He carved cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms on them and overlaid them with gold, hammering gold over the cherubim and palm trees.In the same way, he made four-sided olive wood doorposts for the sanctuary entrance.The two doors were made of cypress wood; the first door had two folding sides, and the second door had two folding panels.He carved cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms on them and overlaid them with gold applied evenly over the carving.
