37 ¹ Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 37 ² And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a molding of gold around it. 37 ³ And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four corners, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. 37 ⁴ And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, 37 ⁵ and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark. 37 ⁶ And he made a mercy seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. 37 ⁷ And he made two cherubim of hammered gold; on the two ends of the mercy seat he made them, 37 ⁸ one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. 37 ⁹ The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.
