VERS. XII.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.
The one at the head, the other at the feet.
SO were the Cherubins placed at each end of the Mercy-seat, Exod. XXV. 18, 19. As to those Cherubins that were in Solomon's Temple, 2 Chron. III. 10. I cannot but by the way observe what I meet with in Bava bathrac 1.1Onkelos the Proselyte saith, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 The Cherubins are like children going from their master. That is, with their faces turn'd partly toward their Master, and partly toward the way wherein they were to go. For as the Gemarists, When Israel obey'd the will of God, the Cherubins lookt toward one another, but when they did not, then they turn'd their faces toward the walls.
Thus Onkelos comments upon this place of the Chronicles, I hardly think he Targumi∣zeth on the Book; for the Targum, at least that is in our hands, renders it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉both the Cherubins are made of lilly-work.
