'Above' in the Bible

for the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, making a covering above the ark and its carrying poles.

They tore down the altars of the Baals in his presence; he cut to pieces the incense altars that were high above them; he also smashed the Asherim and the carved images and the cast images to pieces, and ground them to dust and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
