Exodus 25:10-20
10“Now 1they shall construct an 2ark of acacia wood 3two and a half cubits 4long, one and a half cubits 5wide, and one and a half cubits 6high. 11You shall 7overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding 8around it. 12You shall also cast four gold rings for it and 9fasten them on its four feet; two rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 13And you shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 14You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them. 15The 10poles shall 11remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16You shall 12put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.
17“And you shall 13make 14an atoning cover of pure gold, 15two and a half cubits 16long and one and a half cubits 17wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work 18at the two ends of the atoning cover. 19Make one cherub 19at one end and one cherub 20at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece 21with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20And 22the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and 23facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover.
