Making the Ark of the Testimony

37 ^(A)And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half ^[a]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 ^[b]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 ^[c]it. ⁶ He made a ^[d]mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half ^[e]cubits ^[f]long and one and a half cubits ^[g]wide. ⁷ He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work ^[h]at the two ends of the mercy seat; ⁸ one cherub ^[i]at the one end and one cherub ^[j]at the other end; from one piece he made the mercy seat with the cherubim ^[k]at its two ends. ⁹ The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
