2 and overlaid it with pure gold
within and without; 3 and he cast for
it four golden rings, two on the one side, and two on the other,
4 wide
enough for the staves, so that men should bear
aGr. it.the ark with them. 5 And he made the
propitiatory over the ark of pure gold,
6 and the two cherubs of gold;
7 one cherub on the one end of the
propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end of the propitiatory,
8 overshadowing the propitiatory with
their wings. 9 And he made the

for it four rings: two on the one side and two on the other side, broad, so
that men should lift it with the staves in them.ci. e. the rings.

and of the table, and gilded them with gold.

table, both the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the bowls with
which he

13 And he made the candlestick which
gives light, of gold; 14 the stem
solid, and the branches from both its sides;
15 and blossoms proceeding from its
branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each

eGr. knops like walnuts.knops proceeded from them; and sockets proceeding
from them, that the lamps might be upon them; and the seventh socket, on the
top of the candlestick, on the summit above, entirely of solid gold.
