8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

'And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have tabernacled in their midst;

9 According to all that I show thee: the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture of it, even so shall ye make it.

according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so ye do make [it].

10 And they shall make an ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half shall be the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

'And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

11 And thou shall overlay it with pure gold. Inside and outside thou shall overlay it, and shall make upon it a crown of gold round about.

and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, within and without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring of gold round about.

12 And thou shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet of it. And two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

'And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

13 And thou shall make staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] gold,

14 And thou shall put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, with which to bear the ark.

and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark by them,

15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it.

in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not turned aside from it;

16 And thou shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give unto thee.

17 And thou shall make a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it.

'And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

18 And thou shall make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shall thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat.

and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

19 And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the mercy-seat ye shall make the cherubim on the two ends of it.

and 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 cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy-seat.

'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 shall put the mercy-seat above upon the ark. And in the ark thou shall put the testimony that I shall give thee.

'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;

22 And there I will meet with thee. And I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment to the sons of Israel.

and 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 shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

'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,

24 And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.

and hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, and hast made for it a crown of gold round about,

25 And thou shall make to it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou shall make a golden crown to the border of it round about.

and 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 shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet of it.

'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;

27 The rings shall be close by the border, for places for the staves to bear the table.

over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table;

28 And thou shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them;

29 And thou shall make the dishes of it, and the spoons of it, and the pitchers of it, and the bowls of it, with which to pour out, of pure gold thou shall make them.

and 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;

30 And thou shall set upon the table showbread before me always.

and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually.

31 And thou shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of beaten work shall the lampstand be made, even its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.

'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;

32 And there shall be six branches going out of the sides of it, three branches of the lampstand out of the one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it:

and 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;

33 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knob and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand,

three 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 lampstand four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knobs of it, and the flowers of it.

'And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knops and its flowers;

35 And a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

and 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;

36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold.

their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;

37 And thou shall make the lamps of it, seven. And they shall light the lamps of it, to give light in front of it.

and 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 the snuffers of it, and the snuff dishes of it, shall be of pure gold.

'And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;

39 Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels.

of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these vessels.

40 And see that thou make them according to their pattern that has been shown thee on the mountain.

And see thou and do [them] by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount.
