Solomon's Cherubim
The two Cherubim were made of shemen wood. Other opinions maintain that it was olive wood, and others, pine wood. With
regard to the shape of the Cherubim, there are also different opinions. As for the wings, some say that they had two wings of
five cubits in length spread to two opposite directions.
* In this way, the wing tip of one Cherub touched the northern wall of the Holy of Holies and the tip of the second wing
touchedthe wing tip of the other Cherub. The tip of the wing of the second Cherub touched the southern wall of the Holy of
Holies. |
