1 Bezalel made the Ark of acacia wood measuring two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide by one and a half cubits high. 2 He covered it with pure gold on the inside and the outside, and made a gold trim to go around it. 3 He cast four gold rings and attached them to its four feet, two on one side and two on the other. 4 He made poles of acacia wood and covered them with gold. 5 He placed the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, so it could be carried.
6 He made the atonement cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide. 7 He made two cherubim of hammered gold for the ends of the atonement cover, 8 and put one cherub on each end. All of this was made from one piece of gold. 9 The cherubim were designed with spread wings pointing upward, covering the atonement cover. The cherubim were placed facing each other, looking down towards the atonement cover.
