8 And they shall build me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in their midst;

9 all things as I show you, and the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the vessels thereof; Do so.

10 And make the ark of shittim wood, and the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and its breadth a cubit and a half, and its height a cubit and a half.

11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and overlay it inside and out; and thou shalt make a crown of gold round about it;

12 And thou shalt pour out for it four rings of gold, and fasten it at the four lower corners thereof, two rings on one side thereof, and two rings on the other side thereof.

13 Thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold;

14 And thou shalt put the staves in the rings on the sides of the ark, that by means of them the ark may be carried;

15 There shall be staves in the rings of the ark, and they shall not be taken away from it.

16 And put in the ark the revelation which I will give you.

17 And thou shalt also make the lid of pure gold, and the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth thereof a cubit and a half.

18 And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, and thou shalt make them of chased workmanship at the two ends of the mercy seat;

19 Thou shalt make one cherubim at one end, and another cherubim at the other end. Make the cherubim protruding from the mercy seat at both ends thereof;

20 And the cherubim shall be with their wings outstretched, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall be toward one another: the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and put into the ark the revelation which I will give thee;
