2 He covered it inside and outside with pure gold. He put a strip of gold around it.
3 He made four gold rings for it. He joined them to its four bottom corners. He put two rings on one side and two rings on the other.
4 Then he made poles out of acacia wood. He covered them with gold.
5 He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
6 He made its cover out of pure gold. It was three feet nine inches long and two feet three inches wide. The cover is the place where sin is paid for.
7 He made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
8 He put one cherub on each end of it.
