Exodus 25:17-22
New American Standard Bible
17 “And you shall (A)make [a]an atoning cover of pure gold, [b]two and a half 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 atoning cover. 19 Make one cherub [f]at one end and one cherub [g]at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece [h]with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20 And (B)the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and [i]facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21 Then (C)you shall put the atoning cover [j]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 atoning cover, from (F)between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about [k]every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.
