¹⁰‘And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height; ¹¹and thou hast overlaid it with pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about.

¹²‘And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put them on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side; ¹³and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, ¹⁴and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark by them, ¹⁵in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it; ¹⁶and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee.

¹⁷‘And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth; ¹⁸and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; ¹⁹and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends.

²⁰‘And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces are one towards another—towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs.

²¹‘And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee; ²²and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which are on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.
