Bezilel built a chess chest of a casia wood 110 centimeters long, 66 centimeters wide and 66 centimeters high.

He covered it inside and out with pure gold and put a gold edging around the top.

He made four gold rings and attached one of them to each of the four legs of the chest.

Then he made two poles of Acacia Wood, covered them with gold, and put them through the rings

They faced each other and their wings covered the place of mercy.
