Exodus 25:17-22

17“You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width.

18And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat.

19Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat.

20And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

21You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you.

22And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
