He makes the winds serve as his messengers. He makes flashes of lightning serve him.

Make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.Put one of the cherubim on each end of it. Make the cherubim part of the cover itself.They must have their wings spread up over the cover. The cherubim must face each other and look toward the cover.Place the cover on top of the ark. I will give you the tablets of the covenant law. Put them in the ark.The ark is where the tablets of the covenant law are kept. I will meet with you above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark. There I will give you all my commands for the Israelites.

Where these sins have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer necessary.Brothers and sisters, we are not afraid to enter the Most Holy Room. We enter boldly because of the blood of Jesus.His way is new because he lives. It has been opened for us through the curtain. I’m talking about his body.We also have a great priest over the house of God.So let us come near to God with a sincere heart. Let us come near boldly because of our faith. Our hearts have been sprinkled. Our minds have been cleansed from a sense of guilt. Our bodies have been washed with pure water.

David looked up. He saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth. The angel was holding out a sword over Jerusalem. David and the elders fell with their faces to the ground. They were wearing the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad.David said to God,“ I ordered the fighting men to be counted. I’m the one who has sinned. I am the shepherd of these people. I’m the one who has done what is wrong. These people are like sheep. What have they done? Lord my God, punish me and my family. But don’t let this plague continue to strike your people.”

The donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road. The angel was holding a sword. He was ready for battle. So the donkey left the road and went into a field. Balaam hit the donkey. He wanted to get it back on the road.

The Lord God had planted a garden in the east in Eden. He put in the garden the man he had formed.The Lord God made every kind of tree grow out of the ground. The trees were pleasing to look at. Their fruit was good to eat. There were two trees in the middle of the garden. One of them had fruit that let people live forever. The other had fruit that let people tell the difference between good and evil.

“ Tell the people of Israel to bring me an offering. You must receive the offering for me from everyone whose hearts move them to give.

The Lord rules. Let the nations tremble. He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the earth shake.

The Lord spoke to the man who was wearing linen clothes. He said,“ Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from the fire that is among the cherubim. Scatter the coals over the city.” As I watched, he went in.The cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in. A cloud filled the inner courtyard.Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim. It moved to the doorway of the temple. The cloud filled the temple. And the courtyard was full of the brightness of the glory of the Lord.The sound the wings of the cherubim made could be heard as far away as the outer courtyard. It was like the voice of the Mighty God when he speaks.The Lord gave a command to the man who was dressed in linen clothes. He said,“ Get some coals of fire from among the wheels. Take them from among the cherubim.” So the man went in and stood beside a wheel.Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand. He picked up some of the burning coals that were among the wheels. He handed them to the man who was wearing linen clothes. The man took them and left.I saw what looked like human hands. They were under the wings of the cherubim.I looked up and saw four wheels beside the cherubim. One wheel was beside each of them. The wheels gleamed like topaz.All four of them looked alike. Each wheel appeared to be inside another wheel at right angles.The wheels could go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced. The wheels didn’t change their direction as the cherubim moved. The cherubim went in the direction their heads faced. They didn’t change their direction as they moved.Their whole bodies were completely covered with eyes. That included their backs, hands and wings. Their four wheels were covered with eyes too.I heard someone tell the wheels to start spinning around.Each of the cherubim had four faces. One face was the face of a cherub. The second was the face of a human being. The third was the face of a lion. And the fourth was an eagle’s face.The cherubim rose from the ground. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved. The cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground. As they did, the wheels didn’t leave their side.When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still. When the cherubim rose, the wheels rose along with them. That’s because the spirits of the living creatures were in the wheels.Then the glory of the Lord moved away from the doorway of the temple. It stopped above the cherubim.While I watched, they spread their wings. They rose from the ground. As they went, the wheels went along with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’ s house. And the glory of the God of Israel was above them.These were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River. I had seen them beneath the God of Israel. I realized that they were cherubim.Each one had four faces and four wings. Under their wings was what looked like human hands.Their faces looked the same as the ones I had seen by the Kebar River. Each of the cherubim went straight ahead.

So the people sent men to Shiloh. They brought back the ark of the Lord’ s covenant law. He sits there on his throne between the cherubim. The Lord is the one who rules over all. Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were with the ark of God’s covenant law. The ark was in Shiloh.

When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword. He was ready for battle. Joshua went up to him. He asked,“ Are you on our side? Or are you on the side of our enemies?”

Shepherd of Israel, hear us. You lead the people of Joseph like a flock. You sit on your throne between the cherubim. Show your glory

The second cherub’s wings also measured 15 feet from tip to tip. The two cherubim had the same size and shape.Each cherub was 15 feet high.Solomon placed the cherubim inside the Most Holy Room in the temple. Their wings were spread out. The wing tip of one cherub touched one wall. The wing tip of the other touched the other wall. The tips of their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.Solomon covered the cherubim with gold.On the walls all around the temple he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers. He carved them on the walls of the Most Holy Room and the main hall.He also covered the floors of those two rooms with gold.For the entrance to the Most Holy Room he made two doors out of olive wood. Each door was one- fifth of the width of the Most Holy Room.On the two olive wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers. He covered the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.In the same way he made olive wood doorposts for the entrance to the main hall. Each doorpost was one- fourth of the width of the hall.He also made two doors out of juniper wood. Each door had two parts. They turned in bases shaped like cups.He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on the doors. He covered the doors with gold. He hammered the gold evenly over the carvings.
