You are confusing the worship of pagan idols with the veneration of sacred images like the ones in the First Temple.

There was no 'veneration of 'sacred images' in Taberancle/Temple worship, until pagan images were set up in the last First Temple period. Your 'Cherubim' (sic: K'ruvim) notwitstanding. They were not 'venerated' in anyway, and is a purely Catholic apologetical myth.

So we should ignore these three dimensional representations for veneration? I guess the arc was just a highly decorated storage box?
