Footnotes
The paired motif of כְּרוּבִים (*keruvim*, cherubim) and תִּמֹרִים (*timorim*, palm trees) is the signature decorative programme of Solomon's Temple (1 Kgs 6:29, 32, 35), here faithfully reproduced in Ezekiel's eschatological vision. The palm tree — an image of the righteous flourishing (Ps 92:12), of life and royal beauty — stands between the guardian beings, sheltered and sheltering. The composition almost certainly derives from ancient Near Eastern 'tree of life' iconography, where sacred trees are flanked by hybrid creatures. FOG preserves the Hebrew terms; FOG Message uses the familiar English renderings.
