adem'in düşüşünden sonra
cennet'e insanlar girmesin diye cenneti beklemişlerdir (genesis 3:24). ayrıca ark of covenant'ı koruyan iki varlık da cherubim'dir (exodus 25:22).
"he drove them out; and at the east of the garden of eden he placed the cherubim, and a sword flaming and turning every way to guard the way to the tree of life (genesis 3:24)."
"there i will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the covenant, i will deliver to you all my commands for the israelites (exodus 25:22). "
