Exodus 37
1 And Bezalel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, for the four corners thereof; even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

6 And he made a cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half was its length, and one cubit and a half its breadth.

7 And he made two cherubim of gold, of beaten work made he them, on the two ends of the cover;
Wenza amakherubhi amabili ngegolide, wawenza ngomsebenzi okhandiweyo, avela emaphethelweni womabili esihlalo somusa,
8 One cherub was on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end; out of the cover itself made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
elinye ikherubhi livela ephethelweni lwaloluhlangothi, lelinye ikherubhi livela ephethelweni lolunye uhlangothi; wawenza amakherubhi amabili evela esihlalweni somusa evela emaphethelweni womabili aso.
9 And the cherubim were spreading forth their wings on high, overshadowing with their wings the cover, with their faces one to the other; toward the cover were the faces of the cherubim directed.
