Exodus 25:17-22

17Use pure gold to make a lid for the box. Make the lid 1 metre long and 75 centimetres wide.

18Use gold to make images of two cherubs. Use a hammer to make them the right shape. They will stand at the two ends of the lid.

19One cherub will stand at one end of the lid, and one cherub will stand at the other end. The two cherubs and the lid must be one piece of gold.

20The cherubs must look towards each other and watch over the lid. Their wings must touch each other over the top of the lid.

21Then put the lid on the top of the box. Put the flat stones with the words of the covenant into the box. I will give those to you.

22I will meet with you there, between the two cherubs that are above the lid. They watch over the Covenant Box. In that place I will give you all my commands for the Israelites.
