Exodus 37:1-9
Read Exodus 37 in full →Making the Ark of the Testimony
37aAnd Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half 1cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; 2and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 3He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the 1other side of it. 4He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry 1it. 6He made a 1mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half 2cubits 3long and one and a half cubits 4wide. 7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work 1at the two ends of the mercy seat; 8one cherub 1at the one end and one cherub 2at the other end; from one piece he made the mercy seat with the cherubim 3at its two ends. 9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
