Legacy Standard Bible
17 “You shall (A)make a [a]mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half [b]cubits [c]long and one and a half cubits [d]wide. 18 You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work [e]at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub [f]at one end and one cherub [g]at the other end; from one piece you shall make the mercy seat with the cherubim at its two ends. 20 (B)The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be toward the mercy seat. 21 (C)You shall put the mercy seat [h]on top of the ark, and (D)in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 22 (E)There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from (F)between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all which I will command you for the sons of Israel.

New International Version
17 “Make an atonement cover(A) of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 18 And make two cherubim(B) out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. 20 The cherubim(C) are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing(D) the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. 21 Place the cover on top of the ark(E) and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law(F) that I will give you. 22 There, above the cover between the two cherubim(G) that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet(H) with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.(I)
