Mercy seat

According to the Hebrew Bible, the mercy seat (Hebrew: הַכַּפֹּֽרֶת‎‎ ha-kappōreṯ) was the gold lid with two cherubim beaten out of the ends of it to form a covering over this gold lid and placed on the Ark of the Covenant. This was connected with the rituals of the Day of Atonement; where God did appear. The term also appears in later Jewish sources, and twice in the New Testament, from where it has significance in Christian theology.
