Exodus 37:1-9

1Then Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.

2He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it.

3And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side of it.

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

5And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

6He also made the mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits was its length and a cubit and a half its width.

7He made two cherubim of beaten gold; he made them of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat:

8one cherub at one end on this side, and the other cherub at the other end on that side. He made the cherubim at the two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.

9The cherubim spread out their wings above, and covered the mercy seat with their wings. They faced one another; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
