2 and he covered the ark with purest gold, within and withoutforth. And he made to it a golden crown by compass (And he put a gold band all around it),
3 and he melted out four golden rings, (to be set) by the four corners thereof, two rings in one side, and two rings in the other side. (and he made four rings out of melted gold, to be fastened to its four corners, two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side.)
4 And he made (its) bars (out) of the wood of shittim, the which he covered with gold,
5 and which bars he put into the rings that were in the sides of the ark, to bear it. (and he put the bars through the rings that were fastened to the sides of the Ark, to carry it.)
6 He made also a propitiatory, that is, God's answering place, of purest gold, of two cubits and an half in length, and one cubit and an half in breadth. (And he made the propitiatory, that is, God's answering place, or the lid for the Box, out of pure gold, two and a half cubits in length, and one and a half cubits in breadth.)
