Commentary on Exodus 37:6
The mercy seat (כַּפֹּרֶת, kapporet, from כָּפַר, kaphar—'to atone, cover') made of pure gold covered the law contained in the ark. This covering illustrates that mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13)—the law condemns, but mercy covers transgression through blood sprinkled on this lid once yearly (Leviticus 16:14). Christ is our mercy seat (Romans 3:25, ἱλαστήριον, hilasterion—'propitiation'), where God's justice and mercy meet, where the law's demands are satisfied through substitutionary atonement.
