³ So I made an ark of hard wood, and had two stones cut like the others, and went up the mountain with the stones in my hands.

⁴ So Moses got two stones cut like the first; and early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had said, with the two stones in his hand.

⁵ And sheepskins coloured red, and leather, and hard wood;

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.

¹ And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;

² Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.

³ And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,

⁴ And rods of the same wood plated with gold.

⁵ These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

⁶ And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

⁷ And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;

⁸ Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.

⁹ And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.

¹ At that time the Lord said to me, Make two other stones, cut like the first two, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
