25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every
man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
25:3 And this [is] the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver,

overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.

[even] of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
25:20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth [their] wings on high, covering the
mercy seat with their wings, and their faces [shall look] one to another; toward
the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
25:21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou
shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
25:22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above
the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which [are] upon the ark of the
testimony, of all [things] which I will give thee in commandment unto the
children of Israel.

candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of
the other side:
