Context Reading
15The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark; they must not be removed. 16And place inside the ark the Testimony, which I will give you. 17And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 18Make two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat, 19one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.
