He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat, | 7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat; | 7And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat; | 7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat, |
| 8He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. | 8one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. | 8one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two ends. | 8One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof. | 8one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. At each end, he made a cherub of one piece with the mercy seat. |
| 9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover. | 9The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim. | 9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat. | 9And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims. | 9They had wings spread out.

| 13They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. | 13He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs. | 13He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four feet. | 13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof. | 13He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings to the four corners at its four legs. |
| 14The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. | 14Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table. | 14Close by the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table. | 14Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table. | 14The rings were next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table. |
| 15The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. | 15He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold. | 15He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. | 15And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table. | 15He made the poles for carrying the table from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. |

He made it all of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its calyxes and petals. |
| 18Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand--three on one side and three on the other. | 18And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it; | 18There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the other side of it; | 18And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof: | 18Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side. |
| 19Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. | 19three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. | 19three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb and a flower in the other branch-- so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. | 19Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick. | 19There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the first branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the next branch. It was this way for the six branches that extended from the lampstand. |
