3.11 Ita ut ala. Quinque cubitorum erat ala cherub una, etc., quia angeli legem Dei descriptam in quinque libris indefessa devotione custodiunt, diligendo scilicet Deum ex omnibus viribus suis, et proximos tanquam seipsos. Plenitudo autem legis est charitas Rom. 13.. Proximi quoque adinvicem sunt spiritus angelici et homines electi. Unde utraque ala cherub ejusdem mensuræ est: quia eadem devotione qua sese alterutrum in Deo diligunt, nostram quoque ad se ascendentium societatem desiderant. Similiter ergo alæ decem cubitos complent, cum in gemina charitatis exhibitione angeli, conditoris sui præsentia lætantur.

3:10-13 The figures shaped like cherubim were made of costly wild olive wood and were covered with gold. Similar carvings have been found in Mesopotamia, Syria, and Canaan; such figures were a distinguishing feature of ancient thrones. Cherubim were composite creatures signifying the union of royalty (lion) with the highest powers of strength (bull), speed (eagle), and sagacity (human). Ancient temples found in Phoenicia show the throne of the deity supported by two animals. The sides of ancient Canaanite thrones were commonly shaped as cherubs. The cherubs of Solomon’s Temple were distinct because they were not designed to serve as a human throne. They were attached to the Ark, which was the footstool to God’s throne, with the wings touching in the middle and extending to the walls of the throne room. There was no actual seat to the throne, since none was necessary.
