Construction of the Ark of the Covenant
Exodus 37:1-9
1
And Beseleel made also, the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without.
2
And he made to it a crown of gold round about,
3
Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.
4
And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,
5
And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.
6
He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth.
7
Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:
8
One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,
9
Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.
