Contextual Overview

1 And Bezaleel made the ark of acacia-wood; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 2 And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a border of gold upon it round about. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, for its four corners: two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 4 And he made staves of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark. 6 —And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 7 And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work did he make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; 8 one cherub at the end of one side, and one cherub at the end of the other side; out of the mercy-seat he made the two cherubim at the two ends thereof. 9 And the cherubim spread out [their] wings over it, covering over with their wings the mercy-seat; and their faces were opposite to one another: the faces of the cherubim were [turned] toward the mercy-seat.
