Exodus 25:10-22 Thou shalt make the Ark of the testimony of incorruptible wood; two cubits and a half, the length, and a cubit and a half, the breadth, and a cubit and a half, the height.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Thou shalt make the Ark of the testimony of incorruptible wood; two cubits and a half, the length, and a cubit and a half, the breadth, and a cubit and a half, the height. ¹¹ And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold. Within and without thou shalt overlay it. And thou shalt make for it a rim of gold welked and waved around. ¹² And thou shalt beat out for it four rings of gold and fasten them to the four corners, two rings on one side and two rings on the other side. ¹³ And thou shalt make staves of incorruptible wood and overlay them with gold. ¹⁴ And thou shalt put the staves in the rings on the sides of the ark, that with them the ark may be carried. ¹⁵ The staves shall remain immoveably in the rings of the ark. ¹⁶ And thou shalt deposit in the ark the testimonies which I give thee. ¹⁷ And thou shalt make a propitiatory; a lid of pure gold, two cubits and a half, the length; and a cubit and a half, the breadth. ¹⁸ And thou shalt make two cherubs of turned gold, and place them at the two sides of the propitiatory. ¹⁹ They shall be made, one cherub at one side, and the other cherub at the other side of the propitiatory. Thou shalt make the two cherubs at the two sides; ²⁰ and the cherubs shall have their wings stretched forth above and shall overshadow the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be towards each other. The faces of the cherubs shall be towards the propitiatory. ²¹ And thou shalt put the propitiatory upon the ark; and into the ark thou shalt put the testimonies which I give thee. ²² And there I will make myself known to thee and speak to thee from above the propitiatory, from between the two cherubs which are on the ark of the testimony, touching all that I give thee in charge to the children of Israel.
