For the second side of the tabernacle, to the north, he made twenty planks

For the rear part of the tabernacle, toward the west, he made six planks.

For the corners of the tabernacle in the rear he made two planks,

He made crossbars of acacia-wood, five for the planks of the one side of the tabernacle,

five crossbars for the planks of the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the planks at the side of the tabernacle at the rear toward the west.

He overlaid the planks with gold, made gold rings for them through which the crossbars could pass and overlaid the crossbars with gold.

He made for it four posts of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold, and gold hooks; and cast for them four silver sockets.

For the entrance to the tent he made a screen of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely woven linen, in colors, the work of a weaver;

with its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their attached rings for hanging with gold, while their five sockets were of bronze.

He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside and put a molding of gold for it around the top.

He cast four gold rings for it at its four feet, two rings on each side.

He put the carrying-poles for the ark in the rings on the sides of the ark.

He made a cover for the ark of pure gold, three-and-three-quarters feet long and two-and-a-quarter feet wide.

He made two k'ruvim of gold; he made them of hammered work for the two ends of the ark-cover —

one keruv for one end and one keruv for the other end; he made the k'ruvim of one piece with the ark-cover at its two ends.

He cast for it four gold rings and attached the rings to the four corners, near its four legs.

The rings to hold the carrying-poles for the table were placed close to the rim.

He made the carrying-poles for the table of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold.

On one branch were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a ring of outer leaves and petals; likewise on the opposite branch three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a ring of outer leaves and petals; and similarly for all six branches extending from the menorah.

Where each pair of branches joined the central shaft was a ring of outer leaves of one piece with the pair of branches — thus for all six branches.
