Hebrew: כְּורּב ,the ninth or lowest class of angels. According to the Book of Ezekiel they are represented to have two pairs of wings, and four faces: a lion, an ox, a human, and an eagle with straight legs, and the soles of their feet hooved, like a bull, gleaming like polished brass.
When creating the ark of the covenant, the text of the plates of brass are clear that the cherubim were one male and one female in a sexual embrace. This is also mentioned in the Talmud, which explains this as God loving Israel “as the love between a man and a woman” (Yoma 54a).
See Ezekiel 10:14
