Exodus 25:21

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.

Set the mercy seat atop the ark, and put the Testimony that I will give you into the ark.

22 And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.

23 You are also to make a table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
