the name of certain symbolical figures frequently mentioned in Scripture .
They are first mentioned in connection with the expulsion of our first parents from Eden (
Gen .
3 :
24 ).
There is no intimation given of their shape or form .
They are next mentioned when Moses was commanded to provide furniture for the tabernacle (
Ex .
25 :
17 -
20 ;
26 :
1 ,
31 ).
God promised to commune with Moses "
from between the cherubim "
(
25 :
22 ).
This expression was afterwards used to denote the Divine abode and presence (
Num .
7 :
89 ;
1 Sam .
4 :
4 ;
Isa .
37 :
16 ;
Ps .
80 :
1 ;
99 :
1 ).
In Ezekiel '
s vision (
10 :
1 -
20 )
they appear as living creatures supporting the throne of God .
From Ezekiel '
s description of them (
1 ;
10 ;
41 :
18 ,
19 ),
they appear to have been compound figures ,
unlike any real object in nature ;
artificial images possessing the features and properties of several animals .
Two cherubim were placed on the mercy -
seat of the ark ;
two of colossal size overshadowed it in Solomon '
s temple .
Ezekiel (
1 :
4 -
14 )
speaks of four ;
and this number of "
living creatures "
is mentioned in Rev .
4 :
6 .
Those on the ark are called the "
cherubim of glory " (
Heb .
9 :
5 ),
i .
e .,
of the Shechinah ,
or cloud of glory ,
for on them the visible glory of God rested .
They were placed one at each end of the mercy -
seat ,
with wings stretched upward ,
and their faces "
toward each other and toward the mercy -
seat ."
They were anointed with holy oil ,
like the ark itself and the other sacred furniture .
The cherubim were symbolical .
They were intended to represent spiritual existences in immediate contact with Jehovah .
Some have regarded them as symbolical of the chief ruling power by which God carries on his operations in providence (
Ps .
18 :
10 ).
Others interpret them as having reference to the redemption of men ,
and as symbolizing the great rulers or ministers of the church .
Many other opinions have been held regarding them which need not be referred to here .
On the whole ,
it seems to be most satisfactory to regard the interpretation of the symbol to be variable ,
as is the symbol itself .
Their office was , (
1 )
on the expulsion of our first parents from Eden ,
to prevent all access to the tree of life ;
and (
2 )
to form the throne and chariot of Jehovah in his manifestation of himself on earth .
He dwelleth between and sitteth on the cherubim (
1 Sam .
4 :
4 ;
Ps .
80 :
1 ;
Ezek .
1 :
26 ,
28 ).
