Exodus 37:1-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

37 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood—two cubits and a half was the length of it, a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

² He overlaid it with pure gold within and without and made a molding or crown of gold to go around the top of it.

³ He cast four rings of gold for its four corners, two rings on either side.

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

⁵ He put the poles through the rings at the sides of the ark to carry it.

⁶ [Bezalel] made the mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length and one cubit and a half its breadth.

⁷ And he made two cherubim of beaten gold; on the two ends of the mercy seat he made them,

⁸ One cherub at one end and one at the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim at its two ends.

⁹ And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces to each other, looking down to the mercy seat.^(A)
