Exodus 37:8
6 He constructed a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
7 He made two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,
one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.
9 And the cherubim had wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
10 He also made the 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.
