Exodus 25:12-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. and four gold rings, which you shall set into the four corners of the ark. Let two rings be on one side and two on the other.

13. Likewise, you shall make bars of setim wood and cover them with gold.

14. And you shall put them through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, so that it may be carried on them.

15. These must always be in the rings, neither shall they ever be drawn out of them.

16. And you shall place the testimony, which I will give to you, in the ark.

17. You shall also make a propitiatory of the finest gold. Its length shall hold two and one half cubits, and the width, one and one half cubits.

18. Likewise, you shall make two Cherubim of formed gold, on both sides of the oracle.

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

20. And let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings and covering the oracle, and let them look out toward one another, their faces being turned toward the propitiatory, with which the ark is to be covered,

21. in which you will place the testimony that I will give to you.

22. From there, I will warn you and speak to you, above the propitiatory and from the middle of the two Cherubim, which will be over the ark of the testimony, about everything that I will command of the sons of Israel through you.
