What Does 1 Kings 6:26 Mean?
The height of each cherub is again noted: ten cubits, and the same for the other. The figures are tall as well as wide, towering within the most holy place.
The repetition underlines their grandeur and their equality, two great forms rising in the gold-lit room. Their height lifts the eye upward, toward the heavens and the God enthroned above. Before such majesty the worshipper is made small in the best of ways, drawn to wonder. The towering guardians turn every thought upward to the greatness of the Lord.
