Ark of the Covenant
10 “Now (A)they shall construct an [a]ark of acacia wood [b]two and a half cubits [c]long, one and a half cubits [d]wide, and one and a half cubits [e]high. 11 You shall (B)overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding [f]around it. 12 You shall also cast four gold rings for it and [g]fasten them on its four feet; two rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 13 And you shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them. 15 The (C)poles shall [h]remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16 You shall (D)put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.
17 “And you shall (E)make [i]an atoning cover of pure gold, [j]two and a half cubits [k]long and one and a half cubits [l]wide. 18 You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work [m]at the two ends of the atoning cover. 19 Make one cherub [n]at one end and one cherub [o]at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece [p]with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20 And (F)the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and [q]facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21 Then (G)you shall put the atoning cover [r]on top of the ark, and (H)in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 22 (I)There I will meet with you; and from above the atoning cover, from (J)between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about [s]every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.

The Ark of the Covenant
10 “They are to make an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits[a] long, one and a half cubits[b] wide, and one and a half cubits[c] high. 11 You are to overlay it with pure gold—you are to overlay it inside and outside—and you are to make a gold molding around it. 12 You are to cast four rings for it and put them on its four feet, two rings on one side of it and two rings on its other side. 13 You are to make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 14 You are to put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark with which to carry it.[d] 15 The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark and are not to be removed from it. 16 You are to put the Testimony[e] that I will give you into the ark.
17 “You are to make a Mercy Seat[f] of pure gold, two and a half cubits[g] long and one and a half cubits[h] wide. 18 You are to make two cherubim[i] of gold; you are to make them of hammered work at the two ends of the Mercy Seat. 19 Place one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. You are to make the cherubim at the two ends of the Mercy Seat, and of one piece with it. 20 The cherubim are to spread their wings upward, covering the Mercy Seat with their wings and facing each other. The faces of the cherubim is to be turned toward the Mercy Seat. 21 You are to put the Mercy Seat on top of the ark, and put the Testimony that I’ll give you into the ark. 22 I’ll meet with you there, and I’ll tell you all my commandments[j] for the Israelis from above the Mercy Seat, from between the two cherubim that are on the Ark of the Testimony.”
