{Above it} (huperan(9320)aut(8873)). Up above, in local sense as in
 Eph 4:10 , with ablative case aut(8873) (it, the ark). {Cherubim
of glory} (Cheroubein dox(8873)). Hebrew word (dual form), two in
number, made of gold ( Ex 25:18-22 ). They are called z(9361)
(living creatures) in the LXX ( Isa 6:2f.  Eze 1:5-10  10:5-20 ).
{Overshadowing} (kataskiazonta). Present active participle of
kataskiaz(935c), old verb to shadow down on, cover with shade, only
here in the N.T. {The mercy seat} (	o hilast(8872)ion). The pinions
of the Cherubim spread over the rectangular gold slab on top of
the ark termed the mercy seat. Here the adjective hilast(8872)ios
has to mean mercy seat, the place, not the propitiatory gift or
propitiation, as in  Ro 3:25  (Deissmann, _Bible Studies_, pp.
124-35). {Severally} (kata meros). In detail, distributive use
of kata with meros (part).
