Exodus 37:1-9 ▼

1 Now Bezalel 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;

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; two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

4 And 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 it.

6 He also made an atoning cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

7 And he made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the atoning cover:

8 one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the atoning cover at the two ends.

9 And the cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the atoning cover.
