And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
2 Wawuhuqa ngegolide elicwengekileyo ngaphakathi langaphandle, wawenzela umqolo wegolide inhlangothi zonke.

one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat made he the cherubim at the two ends thereof.
9 Amakherubhi elula impiko ezimbili ngaphezulu, embomboza isihlalo somusa ngempiko zawo, lobuso bawo babukhangelene; ubuso bamakherubhi babukhangele isihlalo somusa.
And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.
