9According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

10“And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.

10“Have the people make an Ark of acacia wood—a sacred chest 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

15These carrying poles must stay inside the rings; never remove them.

16And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I will give you.

16When the Ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you.

19Mold the cherubim on each end of the atonement cover, making it all of one piece of gold.

20And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

20The cherubim will face each other and look down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they will protect it.

21You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you.

21Place inside the Ark the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you. Then put the atonement cover on top of the Ark.

22And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

22I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant. From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel. Plans for the Table
