And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly.
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works.

The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle:
And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.
Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory.
