And the other cherub [was] ten cubits, etc.] 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”; (<140310>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.
