You must make the tabernacle and design all its furnishings according to the pattern I show you.

And they are to construct an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

Make two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,

And the cherubim are to have wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
21 Tsɔ nutunu la tu aɖaka la nu, eye nàtsɔ kpe siwo dzi woŋlɔ seawo ɖo siwo matsɔ na wò la de aɖaka la me.
Set the mercy seat atop the ark, and put the Testimony that I will give you into the ark.

And I will meet with you there above the mercy seat, between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony; I will speak with you about all that I command you regarding the Israelites.
23 “Emegbe la, nàtsɔ akasiati akpa kplɔ̃ wòadidi sentimita blaenyi-vɔ-enyi, akeke sentimita blaene-vɔ-ene, eye wòakɔ sentimita blaade-vɔ-ade.

And make a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

You are also to make the plates and dishes, as well as the pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold.

And place the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.

Then you are to make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. It shall be made of one piece, including its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.

There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extend from the lampstand.

Make seven lamps and set them up on the lampstand so that they illuminate the area in front of it.
