Musar sobre Exodo 25:18
וְעָשִׂ֛יתָ שְׁנַ֥יִם כְּרֻבִ֖ים זָהָ֑ב מִקְשָׁה֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה אֹתָ֔ם מִשְּׁנֵ֖י קְצ֥וֹת הַכַּפֹּֽרֶת׃
Harás también dos querubines de oro, labrados á martillo los harás, en los dos cabos de la cubierta.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
The cherubs which covered the Ark with their wings had the faces of children. This symbolised that they were sin-free, just as the young children in Torah schools are free from sin. It applies to older as well as younger children. This may be the reason the Torah speaks about שנים כרובים, rather than about שני כרובים as we would have expected.
