and four golden rings, which thou shalt set by [the] four corners of the ark; two rings be in [the] one side, and two rings in the other side. (and thou shalt make four gold rings, which thou shalt fasten to the four corners of the Ark; two rings shall be on one side of it, and two rings shall be on the other side.)
13
Also thou shalt make bars of the wood of shittim (And thou shalt make bars out of shittim wood), and thou shalt cover them with gold,
14
and thou shalt bring (them) in by the rings that be in the sides of the ark, that it be borne in them, (and thou shalt bring them in through the rings that be on the sides of the Ark, so that the Ark can be carried with them,)
15
the which bars shall ever[more] be in the rings, neither they shall any time be drawn out of them. (which bars shall remain in the rings forevermore, and they shall never be drawn out of them at any time.)
16
And thou shalt put into the ark the witnessing, that is, (the) law, which I shall give to thee. (And thou shalt put into the Ark the Witnessing, that is, the tablets of the Law, which I shall give to thee.)
17
And thou shalt make a propitiatory of cleanest gold; that is, a table covering the ark [that is, a place of purchasing mercy]; the length thereof shall hold two cubits and an half, [and] the breadth shall hold one cubit and an half. (And thou shalt make the mercy seat, that is, a lid to cover the Ark, out of pure gold; its length shall be two and a half cubits, and its breadth shall be one and a half cubits.)
18
Also thou shalt make on ever either side of God's answering place, two cherubims of gold, and beaten out with an hammer; (And thou shalt make for each end of the propitiatory, or the mercy seat, two gold cherubim, beaten out with a hammer;)
19
one cherub be on one side of God's answering place, and the tother in the tother side; cover they ever either side of the propitiatory, (one cherub shall be at one end of the lid, and the other cherub shall be at the other end of the lid; and the cherubim shall be made so that they form one piece with the propitiatory,)
20
and hold they forth the(ir) wings, and cover they God's answering place; and behold they themselves together, while their faces be turned in to the propitiatory, (and their wings shall be spread out, and they shall cover the lid; and they shall face each other, but their faces shall be turned down toward the propitiatory,)
21
with which the ark of the Lord shall be covered, in which ark thou shalt put the witnessing, that is, the (tablets of the) law, that I shall give to thee.
22
From thence I shall command, and I shall speak to thee above the propitiatory, that is, from the midst of [the] two cherubims, that shall be on the ark of witnessing, all things which I shall command by thee to the sons of Israel. (From there I shall command, and I shall speak to thee from above the propitiatory, that is, from the midst of the two cherubim, who shall be over the Ark of the Witnessing, all the things which I shall command by thee to the Israelites.)
