6. He made the atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
7. Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
8. He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover.
9. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
10. They made the table of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.
11. Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
12. They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
13. They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.
14. The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.
