Exodus 37:1-9
The Ark of the Covenant
1
Bezalel made the ark of the covenant out of acacia wood. It was three feet nine inches long and two feet three inches wide and high.
2
He covered it inside and outside with pure gold. He put a strip of gold around it.
3
He made four gold rings for it. He joined them to its four bottom corners. He put two rings on one side and two rings on the other.
4
Then he made poles out of acacia wood. He covered them with gold.
5
He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
6
He made its cover out of pure gold. It was three feet nine inches long and two feet three inches wide. The cover is the place where sin is paid for.
7
He made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
8
He put one cherub on each end of it.
9
He made the cherubim as part of the cover itself. The cherubim's wings spread up over the cover. The cherubim faced each other and looked toward the cover.
