1Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits, its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits.

2He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and outside, and made for it a surrounding border of gold.

3He cast for it four rings of gold on its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.

4He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

5And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark.

6He made the mercy seat of pure gold; its length was two and a half cubits, and its width a cubit and a half.

7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work, from the two ends of the mercy seat.

8one cherub from one end on this side, and one cherub from one end on that side; from the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends.

9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces were toward one another; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
