The Ark With Its Cherubim
 
From Calmet’s Dictionary of the Holy Bible.

Josephus tells us that the Cherubim were flying creatures but different in appearance from anything to be seen on earth; therefore impossible to describe. Moses is supposed to have seen these beings kneeling at the footstool of God when he was picked up and brought into the presence of Jehovah. It is probable that they resembled, at least in general appearance, the famous Cherubim of Ezekiel. MPH
