The Covenant Box (EXO 25:10-22)

[25:10] “Make a Box out of acacia wood, 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

[25:11] Cover it with pure gold inside and out and put a gold border all around it.

[25:12] Make four carrying rings of gold for it and attach them to its four legs, with two rings on each side.

[25:13] Make carrying poles of acacia wood and cover them with gold

[25:14] and put them through the rings on each side of the Box.

[25:15] The poles are to be left in the rings and must not be taken out.

[25:16] Then put in the Box the two stone tablets that I will give you, on which the commandments are written.

[25:17] “Make a lid of pure gold, 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.

[25:18] Make two winged creatures of hammered gold,

[25:19] one for each end of the lid. Make them so that they form one piece with the lid.

[25:20] The winged creatures are to face each other across the lid, and their outspread wings are to cover it.

[25:21] Put the two stone tablets inside the Box and put the lid on top of it.

[25:22] I will meet you there, and from above the lid between the two winged creatures I will give you all my laws for the people of Israel.
