Making the Covenant Box^(A)

37 Bezalel made the Covenant Box out of acacia wood, 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high. ² He covered it with pure gold inside and out and put a gold border all around it. ³ He made four carrying rings of gold for it and attached them to its four feet, with two rings on each side. ⁴ He made carrying poles of acacia wood, covered them with gold, ⁵ and put them through the rings on each side of the Box. ⁶ He made a lid of pure gold, 45 inches long and 27 inches wide. ⁷ He made two winged creatures of hammered gold, ⁸ one for each end of the lid. He made them so that they formed one piece with the lid. ⁹ The winged creatures faced each other across the lid, and their outspread wings covered it.
