Wajah manusia menghadap ke pohon kurma di sisi sini, dan wajah singa muda menghadap ke pohon kurma di sisi sana. Demikianlah ukiran itu dibuat pada seluruh Bait itu, di segala sisinya.
Rashi
and the cherub had two faces One, the face of a young lion, and one, the face of a man. This one faced this way, and that one faced that way, and when the palm tree was between one cherub and another cherub, the face of the young lion was toward it from this side, and the face of man from that side, as is stated in this account.
