Exodus 37:7

5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

6He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit and a half its width.

7He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat:

8one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.

9The cherubim spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
