Exodus 25:20

The cherubim shall spread out their wings above , overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings , their faces one to another ; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.

The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.

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.
