Exodus 25:17-21 ▼

17 |You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

18 |You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat.

19 |Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim [of one piece] with the mercy seat at its two ends.

20 |The cherubim shall have [their] wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be [turned] toward the mercy seat.

21 |You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you.
