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.
