ἱλᾰσ-τήριος G2435
place or means of atonement; the mercy seat on the ark, or an atoning sacrifice
Originally an adjective meaning "propitiatory," this word can refer to the golden cover of the ark of the covenant where God's presence dwelt and where blood was sprinkled on the Day of Atonement. It appears twice in the New Testament with distinct but related meanings. In Hebrews 9:5, it clearly denotes the physical mercy seat in the tabernacle's Most Holy Place. In Romans 3:25, Paul uses it metaphorically of Christ whom God presented as an atoning sacrifice. The German Sühneort ("place of atonement") captures the Hebrews reference, while Spanish and French emphasize the propitiatory function for both contexts.

1. sense 1 — Can denote either the physical mercy seat (the gold-covered lid of the ark where atonement was made annually) or the means of propitiation itself. The Hebrews 9:5 occurrence straightforwardly describes the Old Testament tabernacle furniture, while Romans 3:25 employs it in a revolutionary way: God has publicly set forth Christ as the new "mercy seat," the place where divine justice and mercy meet. The cross-linguistic evidence from Romance and Germanic languages consistently highlights both the locative ("place of atonement") and functional ("propitiation") aspects of this rich theological term. 2×
