He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry it.
6
He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.
7
He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat;
8
one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two ends.
9
The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
