Haydock's commentary
Work. Hebrew, "of the work of young men," or resembling them. (Munster)
Septuagint, "the work of wood." Vulgate literally, "of sculpture work," (Haydock) as Le Clerc renders the original. Some moderns translate, "of a work like men in motion." (Mariana, Buxtorf)
The cherubims were in an erect posture.
