¹⁰^c“They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits² and a half shall be its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. ¹¹You shall overlay it with ^dpure gold, inside and outside shall you overlay it, and you shall make on it a molding of gold around it. ¹²You shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them on its ^efour feet, two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. ¹³You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. ¹⁴And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark by them. ¹⁵The ^fpoles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it. ¹⁶^gAnd you shall put into the ark the ^htestimony that I shall give you.

¹⁷ⁱ“You shall make a mercy seat³ of pure gold. Two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. ¹⁸And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of ^jhammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. ¹⁹Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. ^kOf one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. ²⁰^lThe cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
