3 and he casteth for it four rings of gold, on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
4 and he maketh staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold,

6 And he maketh a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;
7 and he maketh two cherubs of gold, of beaten work he hath made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;
8 one cherub at the end on this [side], and one cherub at the end on that, out of the mercy-seat he hath made the cherubs, at its two ends;
