13 Then make poles of acacia wood and plate them with gold.
14 These poles you are to put through the rings on the sides of the ark, for carrying it;
15 they must remain in the rings of the ark and never be withdrawn.
16 In the ark you are to put the covenant which I will give you.
17 You shall then make a cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide.
18 Make two cherubim of beaten gold for the two ends of the cover;
19 make one cherub at one end, and the other at the other end, of one piece with the cover, at each end.
