Exodus 37:1-9

Making the Ark of the Testimony

^aAnd Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half ¹cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; 2 and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 3 He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the ¹other side of it. 4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry ¹it. 6 He made a ¹mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half ²cubits ³long and one and a half cubits ⁴wide. 7 He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work ¹at the two ends of the mercy seat; 8 one cherub ¹at the one end and one cherub ¹at the other end; from one piece he made the mercy seat with the cherubim ¹at its two ends. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
