The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. 

Place the cover on top of the ark  and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law  that I will give you.   There, above the cover between the two cherubim  that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet  with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.
