Exodus 25:14-18

You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them.

The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it.

You shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

“And you shall make an atoning cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work at the two ends of the atoning cover.
