Exodus 37:2-11

2and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 3He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the 1other side of it. 4And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry 2it. 6He also made 3an atoning cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits 4long and one and a half cubits 5wide. 7And he made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work 6at the two ends of the atoning cover: 8one cherub 7at the one end and one cherub 8at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the atoning cover 9at the two ends. 9And the cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the atoning cover.

10 10Then he made the table of acacia wood, 11two cubits 12long, a cubit 13wide, and one and a half cubits 14high. 11He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding for it all around.
