6 - He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit and a half its width.
7 - He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat;
8 - one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.
9 - The cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

18 - There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side:
19 - three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand.
20 - In the lamp stand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;
21 - and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.
22 - Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold.
23 - He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, of pure gold.
24 - He made it of a talent of pure gold, with all its vessels.
