Genesis 3:20-24

20

And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

21

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

22

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

23

Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

1

And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

8

One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

1 Kings 6:21-38

21

So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.

22

And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.

23

And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.

24

And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

25

And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.

26

The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.

27

And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.

28

And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.

29

And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.

30

And the floors of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.

31

And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.

32

The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.

33

So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.

34

And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

35

And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.

36

And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.

37

In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:

38

And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

1 Kings 8:1-13

1

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

2

And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

3

And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

4

And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

5

And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

6

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

7

For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

8

And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

9

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

11

So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

12

Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

13

I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

Psalms 18:1-15

1

I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

2

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

3

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

5

The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

6

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

7

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

8

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

9

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

10

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

11

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12

At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

13

The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

14

Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

15

Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

Psalms 80:1-19

1

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

2

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.

3

Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

4

O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

5

Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

6

Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

7

Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

8

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

9

Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

10

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

11

She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

12

Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13

The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

14

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

15

And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16

It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

18

So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

19

Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Psalms 99:1-9

1

The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

2

The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

3

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

4

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

6

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

7

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

8

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

9

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Ezekiel 10:1-22

1

Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

2

And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

3

Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

4

Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory.

5

And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

6

And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.

7

And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.

8

And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.

9

And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.

10

And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

11

When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.

12

And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

13

As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

14

And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15

And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

16

And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

17

When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18

Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

19

And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

20

This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

21

Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22

And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

Ezekiel 28:11-19

11

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

12

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14

Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17

Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18

Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19

All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Ezekiel 41:1-26

1

Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.

2

And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.

3

Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.

4

So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.

5

After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

6

And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.

7

And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.

8

I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

9

The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.

10

And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

11

And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.

12

Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.

13

So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;

14

Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.

15

And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

16

The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;

17

To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

18

And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;

19

So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.

20

From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.

21

The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.

22

The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.

23

And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

24

And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.

25

And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

26

And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.

Hebrews 9:1-28

1

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

2

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

3

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

4

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

5

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

6

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

7

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

8

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

9

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

10

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

11

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

12

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

13

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16

For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

17

For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

18

Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

19

For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

20

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

21

Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

22

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

23

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

25

Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

26

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
