Exodus 25:18-22
Then make two cherubim from hammered gold, and place them on the two ends of the atonement cover.Mold the cherubim on each end of the atonement cover, making it all of one piece of gold.The cherubim will face each other and look down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they will protect it.Place inside the Ark the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you. Then put the atonement cover on top of the Ark.I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant. From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel.

Hebrews 10:18-22
And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.By his death, Jesus opened a new and life giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place.And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house,let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! But these people are as innocent as sheep— what have they done? O Lord my God, let your anger fall against me and my family, but do not destroy your people.”

Ezekiel 10:2-22
Then the Lord spoke to the man in linen clothing and said,“ Go between the whirling wheels beneath the cherubim, and take a handful of burning coals and scatter them over the city.” He did this as I watched.The cherubim were standing at the south end of the Temple when the man went in, and the cloud of glory filled the inner courtyard.Then the glory of the Lord rose up from above the cherubim and went over to the entrance of the Temple. The Temple was filled with this cloud of glory, and the courtyard glowed brightly with the glory of the Lord.The moving wings of the cherubim sounded like the voice of God Almighty and could be heard even in the outer courtyard.The Lord said to the man in linen clothing,“ Go between the cherubim and take some burning coals from between the wheels.” So the man went in and stood beside one of the wheels.Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand and took some live coals from the fire burning among them. He put the coals into the hands of the man in linen clothing, and the man took them and went out.( All the cherubim had what looked like human hands under their wings.)I looked, and each of the four cherubim had a wheel beside him, and the wheels sparkled like beryl.All four wheels looked alike and were made the same; each wheel had a second wheel turning crosswise within it.The cherubim could move in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved. They went straight in the direction they faced, never turning aside.Both the cherubim and the wheels were covered with eyes. The cherubim had eyes all over their bodies, including their hands, their backs, and their wings.I heard someone refer to the wheels as“ the whirling wheels.”Each of the four cherubim had four faces: the first was the face of an ox, the second was a human face, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the same living beings I had seen beside the Kebar River.When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved with them. When they lifted their wings to fly, the wheels stayed beside them.When the cherubim stopped, the wheels stopped. When they flew upward, the wheels rose up, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.Then the glory of the Lord moved out from the entrance of the Temple and hovered above the cherubim.And as I watched, the cherubim flew with their wheels to the east gate of the Lord’s Temple. And the glory of the God of Israel hovered above them.These were the same living beings I had seen beneath the God of Israel when I was by the Kebar River. I knew they were cherubim,for each had four faces and four wings and what looked like human hands under their wings.And their faces were just like the faces of the beings I had seen at the Kebar, and they traveled straight ahead, just as the others had.

1 Kings 6 25-1 Kings 6 35
The two cherubim were identical in shape and size;each was 15 feet tall.He placed them side by side in the inner sanctuary of the Temple. Their outspread wings reached from wall to wall, while their inner wings touched at the center of the room.He overlaid the two cherubim with gold.He decorated all the walls of the inner sanctuary and the main room with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.He overlaid the floor in both rooms with gold.For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, he made double doors of wild olive wood with five sided doorposts.These double doors were decorated with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. The doors, including the decorations of cherubim and palm trees, were overlaid with gold.Then he made four sided doorposts of wild olive wood for the entrance to the Temple.There were two folding doors of cypress wood, and each door was hinged to fold back upon itself.These doors were decorated with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers— all overlaid evenly with gold.
