Exodus 37:1-9

21st Century King James Version

37 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.

² And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold for it round about.

³ And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in the four corners of it: even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

⁴ And he made staves of shittim wood and overlaid them with gold.

⁵ And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

⁶ 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.

⁷ And he made two cherubims of gold. Beaten out of one piece made he them on the two ends of the mercy seat:

⁸ 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.

⁹ And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered over the mercy seat with their wings with their faces one toward another; even toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubims.
