the outstretched right wing of one cherub was joined at its tip to the left wing of another, so that although four, they yet constituted in some sense but one creature, all moving in harmony and by a common impulse. The joining of the extremities of the outstretched wings of the cherubim recalls the arrangement in Solomon's Temple (1Kings 6:27), in which the wings of the larger cherubim touched one another above the mercy-seat.
