Exodus 37:1-9
1599 Geneva Bible
37 1 The Ark. 6 The Mercy seat. 10 The Table. 17 The Candlestick. 25 The altar of incense.
1 After this, Bezalel made the (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:
2 And overlaid it with fine gold within and without, and made a [a]crown of gold to it round about,
3 And cast for it four rings of gold for the four corners of it: that is, two rings for the one side of it, and two rings for the other side thereof.
4 Also he made bars of Shittim wood, and covered them with gold,
5 And put the bars in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.
6 ¶ And he made the (B)Mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and an half was the length thereof, and one cubit and an half the breadth thereof.
7 And he made two Cherubims of gold, upon the two ends of the Mercy seat: even of work beaten with the hammer made he them.
8 One Cherub on the one end, and another Cherub on the other end: [b]of the Mercy seat made he the Cherubims, at the two ends thereof.
9 And the Cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered the Mercy seat with their wings and their faces were one towards another: toward the Mercy seat were the faces of the Cherubims.
