Mercy Seat The golden cover for the ark of the covenant. It was 2.5 cubits long and 1.5 cubits wide. It was made of pure gold and had two cherubim on top of it (Exod 25:17–22). The mercy seat represented Yahweh’s throne on earth, and His presence resided there. Yahweh commands Moses in Lev 16:2–16 to send Aaron before it on the Day of Atonement to sprinkle the blood of sacrifices there; he is to bring incense with him “so that he does not die.”
