Exodus 25:10-22
1599 Geneva Bible
10 ¶ They shall make also an (A)Ark of Shittim wood, two cubits and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and a cubit and an half high.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a [a]crown of gold round about.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four [b]corners thereof: that is, two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side thereof.
13 And thou shalt make bars of Shittim wood, and cover them with gold.
14 Then thou shalt put the bars in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark with them.
15 The bars shall be in the rings of the Ark: they shall not be taken away from it.
16 So thou shalt put in the Ark the [c]Testimony, which I shall give thee.
17 Also thou shalt make a [d][e]Mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and an half long and a cubit and an half broad.
18 And thou shalt make two Cherubims of gold: of work beaten out with the hammer shalt thou make them at the two ends of the Mercy seat.
19 And the one Cherub shalt thou make at the one end, and the other Cherub at the other end: of the matter of the Mercy seat shall ye make the Cherubims, on the two ends thereof.
20 And the Cherubims shall stretch their wings on high, covering the Mercy seat with their wings and their faces one to another: to the Mercy seatward shall the faces of the Cherubims be.
21 And thou shalt put the Mercy seat above upon the Ark, and in the Ark thou shalt put the Testimony, which I will give thee.
22 And there I will [f]declare myself unto thee, and from above the Mercy seat (B)between the two Cherubims, which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, I will tell thee all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
