⁷ Then Bezalel ·hammered gold to make two creatures with wings [^Lmade two golden cherubim of hammered gold; ^Ccherubim are powerful angelic creatures] and attached them to each end of the ·lid [cover; ^Cthe mercy seat]. ⁸ He made one ·creature [^Lcherubim] on one end of the lid and the ·other creature [^Lcherubim] on the other end. He attached them to the ·lid [mercy seat; atonement cover] so that it would be one piece. ⁹ The ·creatures’ [^Lcherubim’s] wings were spread upward, covering the ·lid [mercy seat; atonement cover], and the ·creatures [^Lcherubim] faced each other across the ·lid [mercy seat; atonement cover].
