1 Kings 6:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:25

And the other cherub [was] ten cubits
That is, its wings stretched out measured so many cubits, as did those of the other:

both the cherubim [were] of one measure, and of one size;
of the same height and stature, of the same breadth of their wings, and of the same bulk of their bodies; they were of "image work"; ( 2 Chronicles 3:10 ) ; very probably in the form of men: and this uniformity may denote the perfect agreement of angels; or else the consent of the true faithful witnesses of Christ in all ages, who have all agreed in the person, office, and grace of Christ, as represented by the mercy seat and ark, which these cherubim covered with their wings.

1 Kings 6:25 In-Context

23 Inside the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits: ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.

25 And the other cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim were of the same size and shape.

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

27 Then he set the cherubim inside the inner room; and they stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.
