NT-EPISTLES.filter - rwp Ezekiel:1:5:

rwp@Hebrews:9:5 @{Above it} (\huperan auts\). Up above, in local sense as in strkjv@Ephesians:4:10|, with ablative case \auts\ (it, the ark). {Cherubim of glory} (\Cheroubein doxs\). Hebrew word (dual form), two in number, made of gold (Exodus:25:18-22|). They are called \za\ (living creatures) in the LXX (Isaiah:6:2f.; strkjv@Ezekiel:1:5-10; strkjv@10:5-20|). {Overshadowing} (\kataskiazonta\). Present active participle of \kataskiaz\, old verb to shadow down on, cover with shade, only here in the N.T. {The mercy seat} (\to hilastrion\). The pinions of the Cherubim spread over the rectangular gold slab on top of the ark termed the mercy seat. Here the adjective \hilastrios\ has to mean mercy seat, the place, not the propitiatory gift or propitiation, as in strkjv@Romans:3:25| (Deissmann, _Bible Studies_, pp. 124-35). {Severally} (\kata meros\). In detail, distributive use of \kata\ with \meros\ (part).
