2 And ouerlaide it with fine golde within & without, and made a crowne of golde to it rounde about.

3 And cast for it foure rynges of golde for the foure corners of it: two rynges for the one syde, and two for the other.

'4 And made barres of Sittim wood, 'and couered them with golde.

5 And put the barres in the rynges, a∣long by the side of the arke, to beare the arke withall.

6 And he made the mercy seate of pure golde: two cubites and a halfe was the length thereof, and one cubite and a halfe the breadth.

'7 And he made two Cherubims of thicke gold, vpō the two endes of y^e mercy seat.'

11

And he ouerlayde it with fine golde, and made thervnto a crowne of golde rounde about.

golde, and put the rynges in the foure corners that were in the foure feete thereof.

15 And he made the barres of Sittim wood, and couered them with golde, to beare the table withall.

16 And made the vessels for the table of pure gold, his dishes, his [incense] cuppes, his couerynges, & his bowles to powre out with all.

17 And he made the candelsticke of pure golde, euen of a whole worke made he the candelsticke, his staffe, his braun∣ches, his bolles, his knoppes, and his flowres were of one peece.

18 Sixe braunches proceeding out of the sides therof: three braunches of the can∣delsticke out of the one side thereof, and three braunches of the candelsticke out of the other side thereof.

19 And in one braunch three bolles made like vnto almondes, with a knop and a flowre: and in another braunche three bolles made like almondes, with a knop and a flowre: and so throughout the sixe braunches that proceede out of the candelsticke.

20 And vpon the candelsticke selfe, were foure bolles after the fashion of al∣mondes, with knoppes and floures.

21

Vnder euery two braunches a knop [unspec D] of the same, and a knop vnder two braunches of the same, and a knop vn∣der two braūches of the same according to the sixe braūches y^e proceede out of it.

22

And the knoppes and the braunches proceeded out of it: and it was all one peece of pure thicke golde.

24 Euen of a talent of pure golde made' he it, with all the vessels therof.'

26

And he couered it with pure golde, both the top and the sides therof round about, and the hornes of it: and made vnto it a crowne of golde round about.

27

And he made two rynges of golde for it [euen] vnder the crowne therof in the two corners of it, & in the two sides ther∣of, to put barres in, for to beare it withal.
