Rashi defines them as "malachei chavala," which is very different than the kruvim here, which are described as childlike and loving. Both sets of Kruvim were guarding the "Eitz Chaim", here the Torah and the Luchos, there the Eitz Chaim of Gan Eden. The explanation for the ostensible contradiction is that children reflect their environment, and can be angels of mercy or angels of destruction, all depending on how they are raised and the circumstances into which they are placed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
