13. And make staves of acacia-wood and overlay them with gold.
14. And put the staves into the rings upon the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15. The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not come out from it.
16. And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony that I shall give thee.
17. And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
