| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. |

| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6He made the atonement cover of pure gold--two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. |

| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10They made the table of acacia wood--two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high. |
