¹⁸and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; ¹⁹and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the cherubs on its two ends.

²⁰‘And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high, covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces are one towards another—towards the mercy-seat are the faces of the cherubs.

²¹‘And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto thee; ²²and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which are on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command thee concerning the sons of Israel.

²³‘And thou hast made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height, ²⁴and hast overlaid it with pure gold, and hast made for it a crown of gold round about, ²⁵and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about.

²⁶‘And thou hast made to it four rings of gold, and hast put the rings on the four corners, which are to its four feet; ²⁷over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table; ²⁸and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them; ²⁹and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them; ³⁰and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.

³¹‘And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same; ³²and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the second side; ³³three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out from the candlestick.

³⁴‘And in the candlestick are four calyxes made like almonds, its knops and its flowers; ³⁵and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, are to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick; ³⁶their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold; ³⁷and thou hast made its seven lamps, and one hath caused its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its front.

³⁸‘And its snuffers and its snuff dishes are of pure gold; ³⁹of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels. ⁴⁰And see thou and do them by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount.
