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.

Hebrews 10:18-22
Now where there is forgiveness of these things, an offering for sin is no longer required.Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, through His flesh,and since we have a great priest over the house of God,let’s approach God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Then David raised his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.And David said to God,“ Is it not I who commanded to count the people? Indeed, I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly, but these sheep, what have they done? Lord, my God, just let Your hand be against me and my father’s household, and not against Your people as a plague.”

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.

1 Kings 6 25-1 Kings 6 35
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.And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood, the lintel, and five sided doorposts.So he made two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he overlaid the cherubim and the palm trees with gold.So too he made for the entrance of the main room four sided doorposts of olive wood,and two doors of juniper wood; the two leaves of the one door turned on pivots, and the two leaves of the other door turned on pivots.He carved on it cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold plated on the carved work.
