7. Onyx stones, and pretious stones to adorne the ephod, and rationale.
8. And they shal make me a sanctuarie, and I wil dwel in the middes of them:
9. according to al the similitude of the tabernacle which I wil shew thee, & of al the
vessel to the seruice therof: & thus you shal make it:
10. frame an arke of the wood setim, the length wherof shal haue two cubites & an halfe:
the bredth, a cubite and an halfe: the height, likewise a cubite and an halfe.
11. And thou shalt plate it with most pure gold within and without: and ouer it thou shalt

20. Let them couer both sides of the Propitiatorie spreading their winges, and couering
the oracle, and let them looke one towards the other, their faces turned vnto the Propitiatorie
wherwith the arke is to be couered,
21. wherin thou shalt put the testimony that I wil geue thee.
22. Thence wil I command, and wil speake to thee ouer the propitiatorie & from the middes
