13. And thou shalt make staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
14. And thou shalt put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15. The staffs shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
16. And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17. And thou shalt make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
18. And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy-seat.
19. And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy-seat shall ye make the cherubim on its two ends.
20. And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; towards the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
21. And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
22. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the children of Israel.
23. Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: its length shall be two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its hight a cubit and a half.
24. And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make to it a crown of gold around it.
25. And thou shalt make to it a border of an hand-breadth around it, and thou shalt make a golden crown to its border around it.
26. And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.
27. Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staffs to bear the table.
28. And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
