37 1Bez'alel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.Making the Ark of the Covenant. Ex.37.1-9 | Ex.25.10-22וַיַּעַשׂ בְּצַלְאֵל אֶת־הָאָרֹן עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים אַמָּתַיִם וָחֵצִי אָרְכֹּו וְאַמָּה וָחֵצִי רָחְבֹּו וְאַמָּה וָחֵצִי קֹמָתֹו׃
2And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a molding of gold around it. וַיְצַפֵּהוּ זָהָב טָהֹור מִבַּיִת וּמִחוּץ וַיַּעַשׂ לֹו זֵר זָהָב סָבִיב׃
3And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four corners, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. וַיִּצֹק לֹו אַרְבַּע טַבְּעֹת זָהָב עַל אַרְבַּע פַּעֲמֹתָיו וּשְׁתֵּי טַבָּעֹת עַל־צַלְעֹו הָאֶחָת וּשְׁתֵּי טַבָּעֹות עַל־צַלְעֹו הַשֵּׁנִית׃
4And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, וַיַּעַשׂ בַּדֵּי עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים וַיְצַף אֹתָם זָהָב׃
5and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark. וַיָּבֵא אֶת־הַבַּדִּים בַּטַּבָּעֹת עַל צַלְעֹת הָאָרֹן לָשֵׂאת אֶת־הָאָרֹן׃
6And he made a mercy seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. וַיַּעַשׂ כַּפֹּרֶת זָהָב טָהֹור אַמָּתַיִם וָחֵצִי אָרְכָּהּ וְאַמָּה וָחֵצִי רָחְבָּהּ׃
7And he made two cherubim of hammered gold; on the two ends of the mercy seat he made them, וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁנֵי כְרֻבִים זָהָב מִקְשָׁה עָשָׂה אֹתָם מִשְּׁנֵי קְצֹות הַכַּפֹּרֶת׃
8one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. כְּרוּב־אֶחָד מִקָּצָה מִזֶּה וּכְרוּב־אֶחָד מִקָּצָה מִזֶּה מִן־הַכַּפֹּרֶת עָשָׂה אֶת־הַכְּרֻבִים מִשְּׁנֵי כ= קִצְוֹותֹו ק= קְצֹותָיו׃
9The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim. וַיִּהְיוּ הַכְּרֻבִים פֹּרְשֵׂי כְנָפַיִם לְמַעְלָה סֹכְכִים בְּכַנְפֵיהֶם עַל־הַכַּפֹּרֶת וּפְנֵיהֶם אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו אֶל־הַכַּפֹּרֶת הָיוּ פְּנֵי הַכְּרֻבִים׃ ף
