Exodus 25:10-22 - Instructions For Making The Ark Of The Covenant

¹⁰ And make ye an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height ¹¹ And thou shalt spread pure gold over it, from within and from without thou shalt spread over it; and make to it a wreath of gold round about ¹² And thou shalt cast to at four rings of gold, and give upon its four steps: and two rings upon its one side, and two rings upon its second side. ¹³ And make bars of acacia wood, and spread over them gold. ¹⁴ And bring the bars into the rings upon the sides of the ark, to lift up the ark with them. ¹⁵ The bars shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not remove from them. ¹⁶ And give to the ark the testimony which I shall give to thee. ¹⁷ And make a cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth; ¹⁸ And make two cherubs of gold; of turned work shalt thou make them, from the two ends of the cover. ¹⁹ And make the one cherub from this end, and one cherub from this end: thus of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubs upon its two ends. ²⁰ And the cherubs shall be spreading their wings on high, covering with their wings over the cover; and their faces each to the other; to the cover shall be the faces of the cherubs. ²¹ And give the cover upon the ark from on high; and to the ark thou shalt give the testimony which I shall give to thee. ²² And I was known to thee there, and I spake to thee from above the cover, from between the two cherubs which are upon the ark of the testimony, all which I shall command thee to the sons of Israel.
