Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half cubits, its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits;

And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around.

And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry it.

And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

He also made an atoning cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

And he made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the atoning cover:

And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the atoning cover at the two ends.

One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

And 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.

And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
