Exodus 25:11-24

11You shall 1overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding 2around it. 12You shall also cast four gold rings for it and 3fasten 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 4poles shall 5remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16You shall 6put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

17“And you shall 7make 8an atoning cover of pure gold, 9two and a half cubits 10long and one and a half cubits 11wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work 12at the two ends of the atoning cover. 19Make one cherub 13at one end and one cherub 14at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece 15with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20And 16the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and 17facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21Then 18you shall put the atoning cover 19on top of the ark, and 20in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 22 21There I will meet with you; and from above the atoning cover, from 22between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about 23every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.

23“24You shall also make a table of acacia wood, 25two cubits 26long and one cubit 27wide, and one and a half cubits 28high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 29border around it.
