After Adam and Eve sinned and were ejected from their Paradise home, God “posted at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning continuously to guard the way to the tree of life. ”
Kad Ādams un Ieva sagrēkoja un tika padzīti no paradīzes, kur viņi bija dzīvojuši, Dievs ” ķerubiem ar atvēzta zobena liesmu lika apmesties austrumos no Ēdenes dārza, lai tie apsargātu ceļu uz dzīvības koku ”. ( 1. Moz. 3: 24.)
