And Bezaleel made the mercy seata of pure gold; and Bezaleel made two cherubimb of gold, beaten out of onec piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat:
5
One male cherub on the end on this side, and one female cherub on the other end on that side; out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
6
And the cherubim spread out their wingsa on high and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, faces to faceb, they were intertwinedc in passion one to another;
7
Even towards the mercy were the faces of the cherubim; their bosoms betwixt one towards another even as two lovers in the marriagea covenant;
8
And this that the Presencea could be felt when any of Israel that were worthy should gaze between the two, male and female,
9
And that the Voicea should be heard by those that are worthy, should Israel gaze betwixt these two.

29
And Bezaleel put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
30
¶ And Bezaleel made the laver of brass and the foot of it of brass, of the looking glasses of the priestesses assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

41
