Put the walking sticks in the tent of meeting. Place them in front of the ark where the tablets of the covenant law are kept. That is where I meet with you.
“ This will be a regular burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD, where I will meet with you to speak to you there.There I will meet with the Israelites, and it will be set apart as holy by my glory.
“ You are to put it in front of the curtain that is before the ark of the testimony( before the atonement lid that is over the testimony), where I will meet you.
You are to put into the ark the testimony that I will give to you.“ You are to make an atonement lid of pure gold; its length is to be three feet nine inches, and its width is to be two feet three inches.You are to make two cherubim of gold; you are to make them of hammered metal on the two ends of the atonement lid.Make one cherub on one end and one cherub on the other end; from the atonement lid you are to make the cherubim on the two ends.The cherubim are to be spreading their wings upward, overshadowing the atonement lid with their wings, and the cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the atonement lid.You are to put the atonement lid on top of the ark, and in the ark you are to put the testimony I am giving you.I will meet with you there, and from above the atonement lid, from between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you about all that I will command you for the Israelites.
You are to beat some of it very fine and put some of it before the ark of the testimony in the tent of meeting where I will meet with you; it is to be most holy to you.
