Exodus 25:23

21 Set the mercy seat atop the ark, and put the Testimony that I will give you into the ark.

22 And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.

You are also to make a table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.

24 Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it.

25 And make a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
