Exodus 37:1-9

1 ^aNow Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half ^{▼▼ I.e. One cubit equals approx 18 in.}cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; 2 and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 3 He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the ^{▼▼ Lit second}other side of it. 4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry ^{▼▼ Lit the ark}it. 6 He made a ^{▼▼ Lit propitiatory}mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits ^{▼▼ Lit its length}long and one and a half cubits ^{▼▼ Lit its width}wide. 7 He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work ^{▼▼ Lit from}at the two ends of the mercy seat; 8 one cherub ^{▼▼ Lit from}at the one end and one cherub ^{▼▼ Lit from}at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat ^{▼▼ Lit from}at the two ends. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the ^{▼▼ Lit propitiatory}mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
