SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:22
Y de allí me testificaré a ti, y hablaré contigo de sobre la cubierta, de entre los dos querubines que estarán sobre el arca del testimonio, todo lo que yo te mandaré para los hijos de Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 25:22
Verse 22. And there I will meet with thee] That is, over the mercy-seat, between the cherubim. In this place God chose to give the most especial manifestations of himself; here the Divine glory was to be seen; and here Moses was to come in order to consult Jehovah, relative to the management of the people. Ainsworth has remarked that the rabbins say, "The heart of man may be likened to God's sanctuary; for as, in the sanctuary, the shechinah or Divine glory dwelt, because there were the ark, the tables, and the cherubim; so, in the heart of man, it is meet that a place be made for the Divine Majesty to dwell in, and that it be the holy of holies." This is a doctrine most implicitly taught by the apostles; and the absolute necessity of having the heart made a habitation of God through the Spirit, is strongly and frequently insisted on through the whole of the New Testament. See the note on the following verse.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-22 - The ark was a chest, overlaid with gold, in which the two tables of the law were to be kept. These tables are called the testimony; God in the testified his will. This law was a testimony to the Israelites, to direct them in their duty, and would be a testimony against them, i they transgressed. This ark was placed in the holy of holies; the bloo of the sacrifices was sprinkled, and the incense burned, before it, by the high priest; and above it appeared the visible glory, which was the symbol of the Divine presence. This was a type of Christ in his sinles nature, which saw no corruption, in personal union with his Divin nature, atoning for our sins against it, by his death. The cherubim of gold looked one towards another, and both looked downward toward the ark. It denotes the angels' attendance on the Redeemer, their readines to do his will, their presence in the assemblies of saints, and their desire to look into the mysteries of the gospel. It was covered with covering of gold, called the mercy-seat. God is said to dwell, or sin between the cherubim, on the mercy-seat. There he would give his law and hear supplicants, as a prince on his throne.
