You shall make the cherubim of one piece with the chest at its two ends. 20 »The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the chest with their wings and facing one another. The faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the chest. 21 »After you put into the ark the words of my covenant that I will give you, place the throne of mercy on top. 22 »I will be above the throne of mercy between the angels whenever I meet with you.
