Exodus 37:2-11

2He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and out, and he made a surrounding border of gold for it.

3He cast four gold rings for it that he put on its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.

4He made poles of acacia wood, overlaid them with gold,

5and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry the ark.

6He made an atonement lid of pure gold; its length was three feet nine inches, and its width was two feet three inches.

7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered metal on the two ends of the atonement lid,

8one cherub on one end and one cherub on the other end. He made the cherubim from the atonement lid on its two ends.

9The cherubim were spreading their wings upward, overshadowing the atonement lid with their wings. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the atonement lid.

10He made the table of acacia wood; its length was three feet, its width one foot six inches, and its height two feet three inches.

11He overlaid it with pure gold, and he made a surrounding border of gold for it.
