“And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;”
Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. The two cherubim hammered from the same piece of gold as the mercy seat — exactly as Exodus 25:18 specified. The one-piece construction means the cherubim and the cover are inseparable: the guardians of the presence of God and the place of atonement are a unified object. Hebrews 9:5 mentions the cherubim of the glory overshadowing the atonement cover — Bezalel's hammering produces the earthly version of the heavenly original.
