13 for the 5divisions of the priests and of the 6Levites, and all the work of the service in the house of the LORD; for all the vessels for the service in the house of the LORD,
14 the weight of gold for all golden vessels for each service, the weight of silver vessels for each service,

17 and pure gold for the forks, the basins and the cups; for the golden bowls and the weight of each; for the silver bowls and the weight of each;
18 for the 8altar of incense made of refined gold, and its weight; also his plan for the golden chariot of the 9cherubim that spread their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
