| Ezekiel 41:18
| And there were cherubims and palm-trees wrought, so that a palm-tree was between a cherub and a cherub, and every cherub had two faces.
| Two. Before he describes them with four faces. But they varied, (Exodus 25:18.) or the other two might be against the wall. (Calmet) --- The cherub signified "knowledge," and the palm-tree victory, to shew that man must be instructed with divine knowledge, and so fight for the victory. The face of man implied that Christ would suffer, and that of a lion announced that he would overcome all his enemies. (Worthington)
