28 lomthando waphakathi, phakathi kwamapulanka, uzadabula kusukela ekucineni kusiya ekucineni.
The central crossbar which is placed halfway up the frames will run from one end to the other.
29 Njalo uzawahuqa amapulanka ngegolide, uwenze amasongo awo ngegolide, abe zindawo zemithando; uyihuqe imithando ngegolide.
Cover the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars in place. Cover the crossbars with gold too.
