Beschreibung:
Main description: This monograph is a study of the physical form and cultic function of the cherubim, the winged supernatural creatures that are mentioned ninetyone times in the Hebrew Bible. Although prioritising the textual evidence, this study also looks at relevant semantic and archaeological data and assesses its value in interpreting the cherubim.
