Exodus 37:10
8 one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.
9 And the cherubim had wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
He also made the table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
12 And he made 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.
