Context of Exodus 37:11

9The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim. 10He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
