Exodus 25:18

16 And place inside the ark the Testimony, which I will give you.

17 And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

Make two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,

19 one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.

20 And the cherubim are to have wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the mercy seat.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
