   every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

   and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

   10 (Heb 9:4; Ex 37:1-3) They shall make an ark of acacia wood   
    two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide,

   11 (Ex 25:24; 30:3) You shall overlay it with pure gold,   
   inside and out shall you overlay it,   
   and you shall make a gold border around it.   
   12 You shall cast four gold rings for it and put them   
   on the four feet with two rings on the one side of it   
   and two rings on the other side of it.   
   13 You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.   
   14 You shall put the poles into the rings on   
   the sides of the ark in order to carry the ark with them.   
   15 (1Ki 8:8) The poles must remain in the rings of the ark.   
    They must not be removed from it.   
   16 (Dt 31:26; 1Ki 8:9) You shall put into the ark the testimony   
    which I shall give you.   
   17 (Ex 37:6; Ro 3:25) You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold,   
   two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.   
   18 You shall make two cherubim of gold,   
   make them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat.   
   19 Make one cherub on the one end and the other cherub on the other end.   
   From the mercy seat you shall make the cherubim on its two ends.   
   20 (1Ki 8:7; 1Ch 28:18) The cherubim shall stretch forth their wings upward,   
   covering the mercy seat with their wings and facing one another.

   and I will meet with you from above the mercy seat,   
    from between the two cherubim which are   
   upon the ark of the testimony.   
   I will speak with you all that I will command you   
    for the children of Israel.   
      
   [10] And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall   
   be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit   
   and a half the height thereof.   
   [11] And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou   
   overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.   
   [12] And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four   
   corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings   
   in the other side of it.   
   [13] And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.   
   [14] And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark,   
   that the ark may be borne with them.   
   [15] The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken   
   from it.   
   [16] And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.   
   [17] And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half   
   shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.   
   [18] And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou   
   make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.   
   [19] And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other   
   end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends   
   thereof.   
   [20] And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the   
   mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another;   
   toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.   
   [21] And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark   
   thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.   
   [22] And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from   
   above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark   
   of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto   
   the children of Israel.
