"25:10  And they are to make an ark of hard wood; two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide and high.

25:11  It is to be plated inside and out with the best gold, with an edge of gold all round it

25:12  And make four rings of gold for it, to be fixed on its four feet, two rings on one side of it and two on the other.

25:13  And make rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.

25:14  And put the rods through the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

25:15  The rods are to be kept in the rings, and never taken out.

25:16  Inside the ark you are to put the record which I will give you.

25:17  And you are to make a cover of the best gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

25:18  And at the two ends of the cover you are to make two winged ones of hammered gold,

25:19  One at one end and one at the other; the winged ones are to be part of the cover.

25:20  And their wings are to be outstretched over the cover, and the winged ones are to be opposite one another, facing the cover.

25:21  And put the cover over the ark, and in the ark the record which I will give you.

25:22  And there, between the two winged ones on the cover of the ark, I will come to you, face to face, and make clear to you all the orders I have to give you for the children of Israel."
