And Bezaleel made the ark of acacia-wood; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

2 He covered it inside and out with pure gold and made for it a border of gold around its top.

And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a border of gold upon it round about.

3 He cast four rings of gold for its four feet, with two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side.

7 Bezalel made two cherubim of hammered gold for the two ends of the atonement lid.

And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work did he make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

8 One cherub was for one end of the atonement lid, and other cherub was for the other end. They were made as one piece with the atonement lid.

one cherub at the end of one side, and one cherub at the end of the other side; out of the mercy-seat he made the two cherubim at the two ends thereof.

9 The cherubim spread out their wings upward and overshadowed the atonement lid with them. The cherubim faced one another and looked toward the center of the atonement lid.

And the cherubim spread out [their] wings over it, covering over with their wings the mercy-seat; and their faces were opposite to one another: the faces of the cherubim were [turned] toward the mercy-seat.

13 He cast for it four rings of gold and attached the rings to the four corners, where the four feet were.

And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were on the four feet thereof.

18 Six branches extended out from its sides—three branches extended from one side, and three branches of the lampstand extended from the other side.

And six branches went out of the sides thereof — three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof;

19 The first branch had three cups made like almond blossoms, with a leafy base and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, with a leafy base and a flower. It was the same for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.

[there were] three cups shaped like almonds in the one branch, a knob and a flower; and three cups shaped like almonds in the other branch, a knob and a flower: so in the six branches which went out of the candlestick.

20 On the lampstand itself, the central shaft, there were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their leafy bases and the flowers.

And in the candlestick were four cups, shaped like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers;

21 There was a leafy base under the first pair of branches—made as one piece with it, and a leafy base under the second pair of branches—also made as one piece with it. In the same way there was a leafy base under the third pair of branches, made as one piece with it. It was the same for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.

and a knob under two branches thereof, and [again] a knob under two branches thereof, and [again] a knob under two branches thereof, for the six branches which went out of it.

22 Their leafy bases and branches were all one piece with it, one beaten piece of work of pure gold.
