Exodus 37:7

⁵  And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

⁶  And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

⁷  And he made two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

⁸  One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

⁹  And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubim.
