Exodus 37:1-9
Construction Continues
1 (A)Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half (a)cubits, 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 (b)other 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 (c)it.
6 He made a (d)mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits (e)long and one and a half cubits (f)wide.
7 He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work (g)at the two ends of the mercy seat;
8 one cherub (h)at the one end and one cherub (i)at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat (j)at the two ends.
9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the (k)mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
