| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. |

| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law that I will give you. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23"Make a table of acacia wood--two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Also make around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners, where the four legs are. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27The rings are to be close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. |

| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand--three on one side and three on the other. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair--six branches in all. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. |
