10 And they will make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half will be its length, and a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.

11 And you will overlay it with pure gold, inside and outside you will overlay it, and will make on it a crown of gold round about.

12 And you will cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet of it; and two rings will be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

13 And you will make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

14 And you will put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark.

15 The poles will be in the rings of the ark: they will not be taken from it.

16 And you will put into the ark the testimony which I will give you.

17 And you will make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [will be] its length, and a cubit and a half its width.

18 And you will make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work you will make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.

19 And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat you{} will make the cherubim on the two ends of it.

20 And the cherubim will spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat will the faces of the cherubim be.

21 And you will put the mercy-seat above on the ark; and in the ark you will put the testimony that I will give you.
