列王纪上 6:23-28 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:24

And 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 unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits. [As the four wings alone covered the whole extent of the oracle, each pair must clearly have been in contact on the body of the cherub.] read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 6:25

And the other cherub was ten cubits; both the cherubims were of . We also learn that they "stood on their feet" and, unlike the cherubim of the tabernacle, which faced each other ( Exodus 27:9 ), faced the throne, i.e; the cedar partition, and the east. The object of this arrangement probably was to enable the wings to be stretched out across the sanctuary. In the tabernacle the wings were "spread out on high" ( Exodus 25:20 ; Exodus 27:9 ). In both cases the ark and mercy seat... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 6:23

Two cherubims - The pattern of the tabernacle was followed (marginal reference), but without servile imitation. The original cherubs were entirely of gold. These, being so much larger, were of wood, merely overlaid with a golden plating. The arrangement of the wings, and the direction of the faces, seem also to have been different. Moses’ cherubim “covered with their wings over the mercy seat;” Solomon’s stretched out theirs to the full 1 Kings 6:27, so that the four wings, each five cubits... read more

1 Kings 6:23. Within the oracle he made two cherubims These were different from, and much larger than those made by Moses, which were of solid gold, and arose out of each end of the mercy-seat, being of one piece with it, and looking one upon the other, Exodus 25:18-19. But these made by Solomon were of olive-wood, or, as it is in the Hebrew, of tree of oil; many sorts of which wood there were besides olive; as pine, cedar, &c. The heathen set up images of their gods, and worshipped... read more

1 Kings 6:24-26. Were ten cubits Whereas those of Moses were only so long as to cover the mercy-seat, which was but two cubits and a half in length. And the other cherub was ten cubits So that they filled the whole breadth of the house, which was twenty cubits. The height was ten cubits That is, half as high as that most holy place, 1 Kings 6:20. For they stood on their feet upon the floor of it. read more

1 Kings 6:27. He set the cherubims within the inner house With their faces toward the sanctuary, so that they looked upon him that entered the oracle. They stretched forth the wings of the cherubims Or, rather, the cherubims stretched forth their wings. So that the wing of one touched one wall, &c. That is, they touched the south and north walls of the house. Whereas the wings of those cherubim that Moses made, stretched themselves from east to west. For they looked one upon the... read more

1 Kings 6:28-29. He overlaid the cherubims with gold It must be observed, there were four cherubim in the most holy place of Solomon’s temple; two lesser made by Moses of massy gold, and two larger made by Solomon, overlaid with gold. Those made by Moses were part of the mercy-seat, and inseparable from it; these of Solomon seem to have spread their wings over it and them, being added only for the greater ornament of God’s house. He carved all the walls with figures of cherubims As signs... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 6:14-38

Details of the temple’s interior (6:14-38)Inside the temple the stonework was covered with lavishly carved wood panelling overlaid with beaten gold (14-15; see v. 22). A partition divided the main temple into two rooms. The larger front room was called the nave or Holy Place; the smaller rear room was called the inner sanctuary or Most Holy Place (16-18).The Most Holy Place contained the ark of the covenant, symbol of God’s presence (19). This room had a lower ceiling than the rest of the... read more
