¹⁰“Make an ark of acacia wood 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high. ¹¹Cover it with pure gold inside and out, and put a gold molding around it. ¹²Cast four gold rings for it, and fasten them to its four feet, two rings on each side. ¹³Make poles of acacia wood, and cover them with gold. ¹⁴Put the poles through the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it. ¹⁵The poles must stay in the rings of the ark. Never remove them. ¹⁶Then you will put into the ark the words of my promise which I will give you.

¹⁷“Make a throne of mercy to cover the ark out of pure gold 45 inches long and 27 inches wide. ¹⁸Make two angels^cout of hammered gold for the two ends of the throne of mercy, ¹⁹one on each end. Form the angels and the throne of mercy out of one piece of gold. ²⁰The angels should have their wings spread above the throne of mercy, overshadowing it. They should face each other, looking at the throne of mercy. ²¹After you put into the ark the words of my promise which I will give you, place the throne of mercy on top. ²²I will be above the throne of mercy between the angels whenever I meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.
