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 In the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.

24 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 to the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

25 The other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

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

27 He set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, 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.
