Except for the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant, right?

Exodus 25:18-20

And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.

Or the snake that healed those bitten by poisonous snakes.

Numbers 21:8-9

The LORD said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

This is not trying to prove a theoretical point - Jews of that era - if they had mosaics like this means they were Hellenized Jews and adopted Greek temple art into their designs.

Sheesh - I am not trying to argue theology and what is permitted in the bible or not.

This not unique - in India, they were using Greek art styles in their temples.
