A cubit is the length stretching from the tip of the hand to the elbow. In the Bible, a cubit is estimated at about 45 cm in today’s measurement. The length of the mercy seat was two and a half cubits, and so when converted into the metric system, this length is about 113 cm (3.7 feet). And its width was one and a half cubits, measuring approximately 67.5 cm (2.2 feet). This provides us with a general sense of the size of the mercy seat.
The Ark of the Testimony was first made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold inside and out. But the mercy seat, which was placed on the Ark, was made solely of pure gold. And on its both ends, cherubim were placed to stretch out their wings above, covering the lid of the Ark—that is, the mercy seat—and the cherubim faced toward the mercy seat. The mercy seat is where God bestows His grace on those who come out to Him by faith.
