1And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:1Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood--two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
2And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.2He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
3And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.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.
4And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.4Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
5And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.5And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
6And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.6He made the atonement cover of pure gold--two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
7And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;7Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
8One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.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.
9And 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.9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.

19Three 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.19Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand.
