[37:1] Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
[37:2] And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it.
[37:3] And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side.
[37:4] And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold
[37:5] and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.
[37:6] And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
[37:7] And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat,
[37:8] one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends.
[37:9] The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.
