Reference: Mercy Seat
Fausets
kaporeth Hebrew; hilasteerion, epitheema, Septuagint. The propitiatory, the golden cover of the ark. From the piel conjugation of kaapar, "to cover up," "forgive," or "reconcile," "atone" for offenses. Having a distinct significance and designation of its own; not a mere part of the ark. Placed "above upon the ark" (Ex 25:17-22; 26:34; 30:6; 31:7; 35:12; 37:6). Never called "the cover" (kaporeth) merely of the ark, but made a distinct thing.
The holy of belies is called "the place of the mercy-seat" (1Ch 28:11; Le 16:2), marking that it was not a mere subordinate part of the ark. The kippurim, "atonements," on the day of atonement are inseparably connected with the kaporeth, which was sprinkled with the blood (Le 16:13-15). The same hilasteerion occurs Heb 9:5 "mercy-seat," Ro 3:25 "propitiation." (See ARK.) The atonement was for the breach of the covenant. Appropriately, therefore the mercy-seat covered that covenant written on the two tables of stone inside the ark. God, thus reconciled through the blood sprinkled on the mercy-seat, could speak to His people "from off the mercy-seat that was upon the ark of the testimony" (Nu 7:89; Ps 80:1).

MERCY SEAT, ??????????, propitiatory. This word is properly an adjective, agreeing with ???????, a lid, understood, which is expressed by the LXX, Ex 25:17. In that version, ?????????? generally answers to the Hebrew ????, from the verb ???, to cover, expiate, and was the lid or covering of the ark of the covenant, made of pure gold, on and before which the high priest was to sprinkle the blood of the expiatory sacrifices on the great day of atonement, and where God promised to meet his people, Ex 25:17,22; 29:42; 30:36; Le 16:2,14. St. Paul, by applying this name to Christ, Ro 3:25, assures us that he is the true mercy seat, the reality of what the ???? represented to the ancient believers; by him our sins are covered or expiated, and through him God communes with us in mercy. The mercy seat also represents our approach to God through Christ; we come to the "throne of grace;" which is only a variation of the term "mercy seat."
