10 And they shall make an ark [of] cedar wood; two cubits and a half [shall be] its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
11 And thou shalt cover it with pure gold; within and without shalt thou cover it and shalt make upon it a moulding of gold round about.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it and put [them] in the four corners thereof, and two rings [shall be] in the one side of it and two rings in the other side of it.
13 And thou shalt make staves [of] cedar wood and overlay them with gold.
14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.
16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17 And thou shalt make a seat of reconciliation [of] pure gold; two cubits and a half [shall be] its length and a cubit and a half its breadth.
18 And thou shalt make two cherubim [of] gold; [of] beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the seat of reconciliation.
19 And make one cherub on the one end and the other cherub on the other end: [even] of the seat of reconciliation shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
20 And the cherubim shall stretch forth [their] wings on high, covering the seat of reconciliation with their wings, and their faces [shall look] one to another; toward the seat of reconciliation shall the faces of the cherubim be.
21 And thou shalt put the seat of reconciliation above upon the ark, and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
