Then Moses made statues on the ark of the covenant. EXODUS 25: 17 “Make an atonement cover [a] of pure goldtwo and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. [b] 18 And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 19 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.” Its venerate and not worship otherwise why would God have Moses make statues. He is not that strict. He would have contradicted himself. Its doing it like the pagans do. Like sacrifice to the God In the statue.
Statues????? LOL. Now you're really stretching on that one!
If that's a statue, then.....

But back to the subject at hand. Show me a verse where the jews were bowing down to those cherubim and then you can support your position. You know....a picture like say THIS ONE:
