10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10“Have the people make an Ark of acacia wood—a sacred chest 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Overlay it inside and outside with pure gold, and run a molding of gold all around it. |

16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16When the Ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17“Then make the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—from pure gold. It must be 45 inches long and 27 inches wide. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Then make two cherubim from hammered gold, and place them on the two ends of the atonement cover. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Mold the cherubim on each end of the atonement cover, making it all of one piece of gold. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The cherubim will face each other and look down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they will protect it. |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Place inside the Ark the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you. Then put the atonement cover on top of the Ark. |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant. From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel. Plans for the Table |

25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Decorate it with a 3-inch border all around, and run a gold molding along the border. |

32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Make it with six branches going out from the center stem, three on each side. |
33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Each of the six branches will have three lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals. |

36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36The almond buds and branches must all be of one piece with the center stem, and they must be hammered from pure gold. |

38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38The lamp snuffers and trays must also be made of pure gold. |
39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39You will need 75 pounds of pure gold for the lampstand and its accessories. |
