Who are the angels on the ark of the covenant?
Exodus 25:18-20 "And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be."There is no mention of angels, here or elsewhere, in relation to the ark of the covenant. In fact, there is no actual mention of angels in any book written before the Babylonian Exile. This passage talks of cherubim (sing: cherub), sphinx-like creatures with human heads, the bodies of lions, and wings, and makes it clear that they were man-made forms. The great guardians of the Assyrian Ninevah were probably quite like the cherubim in form.If indeed there was an ark of the covenant, it held two man-made cherubim, not representative of any individual person or creature.
What was the estimated weight of the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat?
Another answer from our community:The Christian Bible and Jewish Torah describes the Ark as being covered all over with the purest gold, not made of pure gold. The Ark was, according to the Bible, made of shittah-tree wood (acacia). This can be all found spelled out very clearly in the book of Exodus 25:10-11. It would have been somewhat heavy and several bearers would have been required to carry it.Some sources indicate that Egyptian gold, during Pharaonic times, was "pure" to a degree of up to 23K. Giving the craftsmen of the day the benefit of being able to purify to this degree gives a theoretical basis for relative gold weight. Sources also point out that taking the dimensions and design specifications that are laid out in Exodus, assuming a gold density of 1061 lbs (481.26Kg) per cubic foot, and a gold overlay method available to craftsmen of the day of 0.02cm, a total Ark weight of approximately 183lbs./83Kg can be ascertained. This is a very manageable weight for the bearers of the Ark to carry and far less than the weight of "tons" that has been suggested.It may also be pointed out that "mercy seat" is a gross mistranslation according to the original understanding of the Hebrew text. The word in question (kaporet) simply means a cover, not a "seat" and not "mercy."
Is mercy a theme that is referred to in the old testament?
The Lord God is a merciful God. His mercy is see through out the bible. In the earthly Tabernacle, God in directing Moses had a mercy seat placed on top of the Holy Ark in the Holy of Holies. You only have to look at what God continually put up with in dealing with Israel to see His great mercy upon men and women.
Which angel did God commanded moses to create to guard the ark?
Actually it was two cherubim (Exodus 25:18). which is believed to be Michael and Gabriel
