Commentary on Exodus 25:17
The mercy seat (כַּפֹּרֶת, kapporet) derives from כָּפַר (kaphar, 'to cover, atone'). Made of pure gold (unalloyed divinity), it covers the law whose demands man cannot meet. This is the place of atonement where sacrificial blood is sprinkled (Leviticus 16:14-15), prefiguring Christ as our propitiation (Romans 3:25, using ἱλαστήριον, the LXX translation of kapporet). God's justice and mercy meet at the cross.
