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

17 ^a“You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width.  ‡

19 Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat.

20 And ^athe 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.  ‡
