1. And Betsal’ĕl made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
2. And he overlaid it with clean gold inside and outside, and made a moulding of gold all around it.
3. And he cast four rings of gold for it, for its four feet, two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.
4. And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5. And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to lift the ark.
6. And he made a lid of atonement of clean gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
7. And he made two keruḇim of beaten gold. He made them from the two ends of the lid of atonement,
8. one keruḇ at one end on this side, and the other keruḇ at the other end on that side. He made the keruḇim from the lid of atonement, from the two ends.
9. And the keruḇim spread out their wings above, and covered the lid of atonement with their wings, with their faces toward each other, the faces of the keruḇim were turned toward the lid of atonement.
