¹⁰Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half; the breadth, a cubit and a half; the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.

¹¹And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, within and without; and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:

¹²And four golden rings, which thou shalt put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.

¹³Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.

¹⁴And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them:

¹⁵And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.

¹⁶And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.

¹⁷Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half.

¹⁸Thou shalt make also two cherubims of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle.

¹⁹Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.

²⁰Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered.

²¹In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.

²²Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the children of Israel by thee.
