02:037:009 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and
covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to
another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
02:037:010 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the
length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half
the height thereof:
02:037:011 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a
crown of gold round about.
02:037:012 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round
about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
02:037:013 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings
upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
02:037:014 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the
staves to bear the table.
02:037:015 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them
with gold, to bear the table.
02:037:016 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his
dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal,
of pure gold.
02:037:017 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work
made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his
knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
02:037:018 And six branches going 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:
02:037:019 Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch,
a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another
branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out
of the candlestick.
02:037:020 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds,
his knops, and his flowers:
02:037:021 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,
according to the six branches going out of it.
02:037:022 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it
was one beaten work of pure gold.
02:037:023 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his
snuffdishes, of pure gold.
02:037:024 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels
thereof.
02:037:025 And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of
it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and
two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
02:037:026 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and
the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto
it a crown of gold round about.
02:037:027 And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown
thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be
places for the staves to bear it withal.
02:037:028 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them
with gold.
