Cherubims.

Rather “cherubim.” The word is a transliteration of the Heb. kerubim, a plural form, and hence does not require the addition of “s” to make it a plural. For a description of the cherubim see Ex. 25:18-20.

Of glory.

The cherubim are probably thus designated with reference to the glory of God that was manifested between the cherubim (see Ex. 25:22; Num. 7:89; 1 Sam. 4:4; Ps. 80:1).

Mercyseat.

Gr. hilastērion (see on Rom. 3:25).

Cannot now speak.

The author does not wish to go further into detail, since an extended discussion of these matters is not his present purpose.
