Construction of the Ark of the Covenant

Exodus 37:1-9
1
B'tzal'el made the ark of acacia-wood three-and-three-quarters feet long, two-and-a-quarter feet wide and two-and-a-quarter feet high.
2
He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside and put a molding of gold for it around the top.
3
He cast four gold rings for it at its four feet, two rings on each side.
4
He made poles of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold.
5
He put the carrying-poles for the ark in the rings on the sides of the ark.
6
He made a cover for the ark of pure gold, three-and-three-quarters feet long and two-and-a-quarter feet wide.
7
He made two k'ruvim of gold; he made them of hammered work for the two ends of the ark-cover -
8
one keruv for one end and one keruv for the other end; he made the k'ruvim of one piece with the ark-cover at its two ends.
9
The k'ruvim had their wings spread out above, so that their wings covered the ark; their faces were toward each other and toward the ark-cover.
