And you shall make two cherubim of gold, of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat.
All Commentaries on Exodus 25:18 Go To Exodus 25
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
The two cherubim which covered the mercy seat beheld one another with their countenances turned toward it. The word cherubim means “fullness of knowledge.” What do the two cherubim signify but the two Testaments? And what does the mercy seat prefigure but the Lord become a man? John says of him, “For he is the expiation” for our sins.
