Exodus 37:2-11

2He covered it with gold, inside and outside. He built up the edges of the box with gold.

3He made four gold rings for it and he fixed them to its four feet. He fixed two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.

4He used acacia wood to make two poles. He also covered them with gold.

5He pushed the poles through the rings on the sides of the Covenant Box, to carry it.

6He used pure gold to make the special lid for the Covenant Box. It was 1 metre long and 75 centimetres wide.

7He used gold to make images of two cherubs. He used a hammer to make them the right shape. He made them to stand at the two ends of the lid.

8One cherub stood at one end of the lid and one cherub stood at the other end. He made the two cherubs and the lid from one piece of gold.

9The cherubs looked at each other and they watched over the lid. Their wings touched each other over the top of the lid.

10Bezalel used acacia wood to make the special table. It was 1 metre long, 50 centimetres wide and 75 centimetres high.

11He covered the wood with gold. He built up the edges of the table with gold.
