For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

διοτι τα χερουβειμ ειχον εξηπλωμενας τας πτερυγας επι τον τοπον της κιβωτου, και τα χερουβειμ εκαλυπτον την κιβωτον και τους μοχλους αυτης ανωθεν·

For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
