Exodus 25:16-18
Wycliffe Bible
16 And thou shalt put into the ark the witnessing, that is, (the) law, which I shall give to thee. (And thou shalt put into the Ark the Witnessing, that is, the tablets of the Law, which I shall give to thee.)
17 And thou shalt make a propitiatory[a] of cleanest gold; that is, a table covering the ark [that is, a place of purchasing mercy]; the length thereof shall hold two cubits and an half, [and] the breadth shall hold one cubit and an half. (And thou shalt make the mercy seat, that is, a lid to cover the Ark, out of pure gold; its length shall be two and a half cubits, and its breadth shall be one and a half cubits.)
18 Also thou shalt make on ever either side of God’s answering place, two cherubims of gold, and beaten out with an hammer; (And thou shalt make for each end of the propitiatory, or the mercy seat, two gold cherubim, beaten out with a hammer;)
