7onyx stones, and other precious stones to be set in the ⌞chief priest’s⌟ ephod  and his breastplate.

8“Then have them make a holy place for me, and I will live among them.

9Make the tent and all its furnishings exactly like the plans I am showing you.

10“Make an ark of acacia wood 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

11Cover it with pure gold inside and out, and put a gold molding around it.

12Cast four gold rings for it, and fasten them to its four feet, two rings on each side.

13Make poles of acacia wood, and cover them with gold.

14Put the poles through the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it.

15The poles must stay in the rings of the ark. Never remove them.

16Then you will put into the ark the words of my promise which I will give you.

17“Make a throne of mercy to cover the ark out of pure gold 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.

18Make two angels  out of hammered gold for the two ends of the throne of mercy,

19one on each end. Form the angels and the throne of mercy out of one piece of gold.

20The angels should have their wings spread above the throne of mercy, overshadowing it. They should face each other, looking at the throne of mercy.

21After you put into the ark the words of my promise which I will give you, place the throne of mercy on top.

22I will be above the throne of mercy between the angels whenever I meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.

23“Make a table of acacia wood 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

24Cover it with pure gold, and put a gold molding around it.

25Make a rim three inches wide around it, and put a gold molding around the rim.

26Make four gold rings for it, and fasten them to the four corners, where the four legs are.

27The rings are to be close to the rim. They are to hold the poles for carrying the table.
