Explanation preview
Bezalel is building the tabernacle exactly as God showed Moses on the mountain, and this verse describes the lid of the ark, the gold slab that covered the chest holding the tablets of the law. The Hebrew word is kapporet, from a root meaning to cover or atone, which is why English Bibles call it the mercy seat.
