1. And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
2. and he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3. And he cast for it four rings of gold, in the four feet thereof; even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
4. And he made staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5. And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6. And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
7. And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work made he them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;
8. one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat made he the cherubim at the two ends thereof.
