§ 12 The things that accompanied this Ark in the most holy place were upon it the Mercy-seat; on the ends of it two Cherubims. The Mercy-seat as to its making, form, use, and disposition, is declared, Exod. 25.17. it is called [Greek or Hebrew] Cipporeth; [Greek or Hebrew] signifies to hide, to cover, to plaster over, to shut, to plaster with Bitumen or pitch. In Pihel, to expiate sin, Exod. 30.10. Levit. 4.10. If the name of the Mercy-seat be taken from the word in Kal, it signifies only Operimentum, tegumentum, tegmen, a covering, and so ought to be rendered. If it be taken from the sense of the word in Pihel, it retains the signification of Expiation, and consequently of pardon and mercy.
