Chapter 26 — Part III — The Ten Commandments

Section 518. Q. Are we not hereby forbidden to have any sacred representations whatever? A. By no means. This very plainly appears from hence, that the same Moses through whom God gave the commandment against graven images, received at the same time from God an order to place in the tabernacle, or movable temple of the Israelites, sacred representations of Cherubim in gold, and to place them, too, in that inner part of the temple to which the people turned for the worship of God.
