Exodus 37

¹Bezalel went on to construct the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

²He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.

³And he cast four gold rings for its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.

⁴Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

⁵He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it.

⁶He constructed a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

⁷He made two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,

⁸one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.

⁹And the cherubim had wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the mercy seat.

¹⁰He also made the table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.

¹¹He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.

¹²And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

¹³He cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners at its four legs.

¹⁴The rings were placed close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table.
