5 And he put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 And he made the mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and one cubit and a half the breadth of it.
7 And he made two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece he made them, on the two ends of the mercy-seat;
8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy-seat made he the cherubim on the two ends of it.
9 And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy-seat, with their faces one to another; even towards the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.
10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its hight:
11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made to it a crown of gold round about.
