Exodus 37:1-9

Living Bible

37 Next Bezalel made the Ark. This was constructed of acacia wood and was 3-3/4 feet long, 2-1/4 feet wide, and 2-1/4 feet high. ² It was plated with pure gold inside and out, and had a molding of gold all the way around the sides. ³ There were four gold rings fastened into its four feet, two rings at each end. ⁴ Then he made poles from acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, ⁵ and put the poles into the rings at the sides of the Ark, to carry it.

⁶ Then, from pure gold, he made a lid called “the place of mercy”; it was 3-3/4 feet long and 2-1/4 feet wide. ⁷ He made two statues of Guardian Angels of beaten gold and placed them at the two ends of the gold lid. ⁸ They were molded so that they were actually a part of the gold lid—it was all one piece. ⁹ The Guardian Angels faced each other, with outstretched wings that overshadowed the place of mercy, looking down upon it.
