3 and he cast for it four rings of gold, upon the four feet thereof, —even, two rings, on the one side thereof and, two rings, on the other side thereof;
Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.
4 and he made staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold;

7 and he made two cherubim, of gold, of beaten work, did he make them, out of the two ends of the propitiatory:
Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:
8 one cherub, out of this end, and, one cherub, out of that end, out of the propitiatory itself, made he the cherubim, out of the two ends thereof:
One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,
9 and the cherubim were spreading out their wings on high making a shelter with their wings over the propitiatory, with, their faces, one towards the other, towards the propitiatory, were the faces of the cherubim,
Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.

18 with, six branches coming out of its sides, —three branches of the lampstand out of its one side and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side:
Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.
19 three cups like almond-flowers in the one branch—apple and blossom, and, three cups like almond-flowers, in the next branch, apple and blossom, so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand;
Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies; and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.
