And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Ver. 5. And over it the cherubims] The ark covering the law within it, the mercy seat upon it, and over them two cherubims covering one another; all these set forth Christ covering the curses of the law, in whom is the ground of all mercy, which things the angels desire to pry into, as into the pattern of God's unsearchable wisdom and goodness.
