NET Notes |
1 tn The verb means “overshadowing, screening” in the sense of guarding (see 1 Kgs 8:7; 1 Chr 28:18; see also the account in Gen 3:24). The cherubim then signify two things here: by their outstretched wings they form the throne of God who sits above the ark (with the Law under his feet), and by their overshadowing and guarding they signify this as the place of atonement where people must find propitiation to commune with God. Until then they are barred from his presence. See U. Cassuto, Exodus, 330-35. 2 tn Heb “their faces a man to his brother.” 3 tn Heb “the faces of the cherubim will be” (“the cherubim” was moved to the preceding clause for smoother English). |
