¹⁷ “Then make a lid of pure gold for the Ark; this is the mercy seat. Make it forty-five inches long and twenty-seven inches wide. ¹⁸ Then hammer gold to make two creatures with wings, and put one on each end of the lid. ¹⁹ Attach one creature on one end of the lid and the other creature on the other end. Make them to be one piece with the lid at the ends.
