Commentary on Exodus 37:9
Cherubim with wings spread upward (פֹּרְשֵׂי כְנָפַיִם לְמַעְלָה, porsei khenafayim lema'lah) covering the mercy seat with their wings create a sacred canopy—wings both protecting and honoring the place of atonement. Their faces toward the mercy seat (אֶל־הַכַּפֹּרֶת, el-hakapporet) demonstrate proper worship orientation: focusing on God's provision for sin, not on self or surroundings. This teaches that authentic worship centers on Christ's atoning work—we don't look at each other, our performance, or our feelings, but at the Cross.
