“And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly .”
Hebrews 9:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 9:5
Above the ark were 'cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat.' The mercy seat (Greek 'hilastērion' - place of propitiation) was where blood was sprinkled on the Day of Atonement, making atonement for sin. The cherubim's presence indicates God's throne. Paul uses 'hilastērion' for Christ (Romans 3:25) - He is the true mercy seat where God's wrath is propitiated. The author declines to detail these ('we cannot now speak particularly'), focusing on their fulfillment in Christ.
