Bezalel 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.

2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

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

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, [to be set] by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

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

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

8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the [other] end on that side: out of the mercy-seat made he the cherubim on the two ends of it.

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

9 And the cherubim spread out [their] wings on high, [and] covered with their wings over the mercy-seat, with their faces one to another; [even] towards the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.

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