1And Beseleel made also, the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without.Fece parimente Beseleel l'arca di legni di setim, la quale avea due cubiti e mezzo di lunghezza, un cubito e mezzo di larghezza, e l'altezza fu similmente di un cubito e mezzo; e la ricoperse di finissimo oro di dentro e di fuori.AND Beseleel made also the arke of the wood setim, hauing two cubites and an halfe in length, and a cubite and an halfe in bredth, the height also was of one cubite and an halfe: and he plated it with the purest gold within and without.Fecit autem Beseleel et arcam de lignis setim, habentem duos semis cubitos in longitudine, et cubitum ac semissem in latitudine, altitudo quoque unius cubiti fuit et dimidii: vestivitque eam auro purissimo intus ac foris. 2And he made to it a crown of gold round about,E fecele all'intorno una corona d'oro;And he made to it a crowne of gold round about,Et fecit illi coronam auream per gyrum, 3Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.Formò di getto quattro anelli d'oro pe' suoi quattro angoli: due anelli da un lato, e due dall'altro.casting foure ringes of gold at the foure corners thereof: two ringes in the one side, and two in the other.conflans quatuor annulos aureos per quatuor angulos ejus: duos annulos in latere uno, et duos in altero. 4And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,E fece di legno di setim le stanghe, le quali rivestì d'oro,Barres also he made of the wood setim, which he plated with gold,Vectes quoque fecit de lignis setim, quos vestivit auro, 5And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.E le fece passare per gli anelli, che erano a' lati dell'arca, perché questa potesse portarsi.and which he put into the ringes, that were at the sides of the arke to carie it.et quos misit in annulos, qui erant in lateribus arcæ ad portandum eam. 6He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth.Fece anche il propiziatorio, cioè l'oracolo d'oro purissimo: era lungo due cubiti e mezzo, e largo un cubito e mezzo.He made also the Propititorie, that is, the Oracle, of the purest gold, two cubites and an halfe in length, and a cubite and an halfe in bredth.Fecit et propitiatorium, id est, oraculum, de auro mundissimo, duorum cubitorum et dimidii in longitudine, et cubiti ac semis in latitudine. 7Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:E di più due cherubini d'oro lavorato al martello, i quali pose a' due lati del propiziatorio:Two Cherubins also of beaten gold, which he sette on either side of the Propitiatorie:Duos etiam cherubim ex auro ductili, quos posuit ex utraque parte propitiatorii:
8One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,Un cherubino all'estremità d'un lato, e un altro cherubino all'estremità dell'altro lato: questi due cherubini all'una e all'altra estremità del propiziatorio.One Cherub in the toppe of one side, and the other Cherub in the toppe of the other side: two Cherubins in each toppe of the Propitirtorie,cherub unum in summitate unius partis, et cherub alterum in summitate partis alterius: duos cherubim in singulis summitatibus propitiatorii, 9Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.Stendevano le ale e coprivano il propiziatorio, e quello e sé stessi scambievolmente guardavano.spreading their winges, and couering the Propitiatorie, and looking one toward the other and toward it.extendentes alas, et tegentes propitiatorium, seque mutuo et illud respicientes. 10He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half.Fece anche una mensa di legno di setim lunga due cubiti, e larga un cubito, che avea di altezza un cubito e mezzo:He made also the table of the wood setim in length two cubites, and in bredth one cubite, which had in height a cubite & an halfe.Fecit et mensam de lignis setim in longitudine duorum cubitorum, et in latitudine unius cubiti, quæ habebat in altitudine cubitum ac semissem. 11And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about,E la coperse tutta di purissimo oro, e le fece all'intorno una cornice d'oro,and he did compasse it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about,Circumdeditque eam auro mundissimo, et fecit illi labium aureum per gyrum, 12And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.E sopra la cornice una corona d'oro, parte piana, parte scolpita di quattro dita, e sopra questa un'altra corona d'oro.and to the ledge it selfe a golden crowne enterpolished of foure fingers, and vpon the same an other golden crowne.ipsique labio coronam auream interrasilem quatuor digitorum, et super eamdem, alteram coronam auream. 13And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,Fece anche quattro anelli d'oro, e li pose a' quattro angoli, uno ad ogni piede della mensaAnd he cast foure ringes of gold, which he put in the foure corners at euerie foote of the tableFudit et quatuor circulos aureos, quos posuit in quatuor angulis per singulos pedes mensæ 14Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.Dirimpetto alla corona, e fece passar per essi le stanghe, affinché potesse portarsi la mensa.against the crowne: and he put the barres into them, that the table might be caried.contra coronam: misitque in eos vectes, ut possit mensa portari.
15The bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold.Fece anche le stanghe medesime di legno di setim, e le coperse d'oro.The barres also them selues he made of the wood setim, and compassed them with gold.Ipsos quoque vectes fecit de lignis setim, et circumdedit eos auro. 16And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered.E (fece) i vasi pe' diversi usi della mensa, scodelle, ampolle, coppe, e turiboli d'oro purissimo, e vasi da offerire le libagioni.And the vessel for the diuers vses of the table, sawcers, phiales, and goblettes, and censars, of pure gold, wherein the libamentes are to be offered.Et vasa ad diversos usus mensæ, acetabula, phialas, et cyathos, et thuribula, ex auro puro, in quibus offerenda sunt libamina. 17He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. From the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out:Fece anche il candelabro d'oro finissimo lavorato al martello; dal fusto del quale uscivano i suoi bracci con le coppe, e le piccole sfere, e i gigli:He made also the candlesticke beaten of the finest gold. From the shaft wherof the branches, cuppes, and boules and lilies did proceede:Fecit et candelabrum ductile de auro mundissimo, de cujus vecte calami, scyphi, sphærulæque, ac lilia procedebant: 18Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.Sei (bracci) da tutti due i lati, tre dall'altra parte, e tre dall'altra:six on both sides, three branches on one side, and three on the other:sex in utroque latere, tres calami ex parte una, et tres ex altera: 19Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies: and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches, that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.Ad ogni braccio tre coppe in forma di noce, e le piccole sfere, e i gigli: e all'altro ramo tre coppe in forma di noce, e le piccole sfere, e i gigli. Eguale era il lavoro de' suoi rami, che uscivano dal fusto del candelabro.three cuppes in maner of a nutte on euerie branch, and boules withal and lilies: and three cuppes of the fashion of a nutte in an other branch, and boules withal and lilies. The worke of the six branches, that proceded from the shaft of the candlesticke, equaltres scyphi in nucis modum per calamos singulos, sphærulæque simul et lilia: et tres scyphi instar nucis in calamo altero, sphærulæque simul et lilia. Æquum erat opus sex calamorum, qui procedebant de stipite candelabri.
20And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:E lo stesso fusto avea quattro coppe in forma di noce, e ognuna di esse avea le sue piccole sfere, e i gigli:And in the shaft it selfe were foure cuppes after the maner of a nutte, and boules withal at euerie one and lilies:In ipso autem vecte erant quatuor scyphi in nucis modum, sphærulæque per singulos simul et lilia: 21And bowls under two branches in three places, which together made six branches going out from one shaft.E tre piccole sfere in tre luoghi, da ognuna delle quali uscivano due rami, ed erano tutti insieme sei rami, che uscivano da un sol fusto:and boules vnder two branches in three places, which together make six branches proceding from one shaft.et sphærulæ sub duobus calamis per loca tria, qui simul sex fiunt calami procedentes de vecte uno. 22So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.E le piccole sfere adunque, e i rami erano dello stesso corpo (del fusto); e ogni cosa d'oro purissimo lavorato al martello.both the boules therfore, & the branches were out of it, al beaten of the purest gold.Et sphærulæ igitur, et calami ex ipso erant, universa ductilia ex auro purissimo. 23He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.Fece anche sette lucerne colle sue smoccolatoie, e i vasi, dove si estingue la moccolaia, d'oro finissimo.He made also the seuen lampes with their snuffers, and the vessel, where the snuffings should be put out, of most pure gold.Fecit et lucernas septem cum emunctoriis suis, et vasa ubi ea, quæ emuncta sunt, extinguantur, de auro mundissimo. 24The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.Il candelliere con tutti gl'istrumenti suoi pesava un talento d'oro.The candlesticke withal the vessel therof did weigh a talent of gold.Talentum auri appendebat candelabrum cum omnibus vasis suis. 25He made also the altar of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns.Fece anche l'altare de' timiami di legno di setim che avea in quadro un cubito, ed era alto due cubiti; dagli angoli del quale uscivan le corna.He made also the altar of incense of the wood setim, hauing a cubite euerie way foure square, and in height two: from the corners wherof the hornes did procede.Fecit et altare thymiamatis de lignis setim, per quadrum singulos habens cubitos, et in altitudine duos: e cujus angulis procedebant cornua.
26And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate, and the sides, and the horns.E lo ricoperse di finissimo oro, come pure la graticola, e le pareti, e le corna.And he plated it with the purest gold, with the grate and the walles and the hornes.Vestivitque illud auro purissimo cum craticula ac parietibus et cornibus. 27And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried.E fecegli tutt'all'intorno una corona d'oro, e due anelli d'oro a un lato, e all'altro sotto la corona per farvi passare le stanghe da portare l'altare.And he made to it a crowne of gold round about, and two golden ringes vnder the crowne at either side, that the barres may be put into them, and the altar may be caried.Fecitque ei coronam aureolam per gyrum, et duos annulos aureos sub corona per singula latera, ut mittantur in eos vectes, et possit altare portari. 28And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold.E le stanghe ancora le formò di legno di setim, e le coperse con lame d'oro.And the barres them selues he made also of the wood setim, and couered them with plates of gold.Ipsos autem vectes fecit de lignis setim, et operuit laminis aureis. 29He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.Fece anche la composizione dell'olio per le unzioni, e le santificazioni, e il timiama di aromi squisitissimi secondo l'arte de' profumieri.He compounded also oile for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices with the worke of a pigmentarie.Composuit et oleum ad sanctificationis unguentum, et thymiama de aromatibus mundissimis opere pigmentarii.

St Cyril of Jerusalem † AD 386 The Catechetical Lectures of S. Cyril 2.17
… Hast thou not heard that he put out the eyes of the king, after he had already seen his children slain ? Hast thou not heard that he brake in pieces the Cherubim? I do not mean the invisible beings;—away with such a thought, O man ,—but the sculptured images, and the mercy-seat, in the midst of which God spake with His voice
St Gregory of Nazianzus † AD 389 Select Orations of Saint Gregory Nazianzen 32
… There are in the Book of Proverbs three things which go well, a lion, a goat, and a cock; and to these is added a fourth;—a King making a speech before the people, to pass over the other sets of four which are there counted up, although things of various natures. And I find in Moses two Cherubim
37:7
7. TWO CHERUBIM ALSO. — From this it is evident that there were only two Cherubim beside the ark, not four, namely one on one side, another on the other; whence also Solomon is read to have made only two in his temple, III Kings vi, 23. What therefore is said here, that two Cherubim were placed on the single summits, that is extremities (for this is what the Hebrew katse signifies) of the mercy seat, understand from what preceded, that one was placed on each, not two. This is evident from the Hebrew words which have, from the mercy seat he made Cherubim on its two sides. Thus Abulensis.

37:1
Ark (of the Covenant), Ark of the Testimony
The Ark, built by Bezalel (v.) shortly after the departure from Egypt (Ex. 37:1-9), first rested in the Mosaic Tabernacle (v.), followed the Israelites in the desert, then was at Shiloh until the time of Samuel (Josh. 18:1, 8-10; Judg. 20:18, 27; 21:2, 19; I Sam. …
Beseleel (Hebrew Bēṣal'ēl, "In the Shadow of God")
BESELEEL (Hebrew Bēṣal'ēl, "In the Shadow of God"). - Son of Uri, of the tribe of Judah, he was the chief craftsman (Ex. 31:1-11; 35:30-35; 37:1-38) of the Tabernacle of the covenant, and of all the sacred furnishings together with everything destined for worship, from the chrism and the incense to the Ark of the covenant. …
37:6
Propitiatory (Heb. Happōreth, Septuagint Ἐναστήρων)
… Of unspecified thickness, it measured two and a half cubits (= approx. 1.31 m) in length and one and a half (= 0.78 m) in width (Ex. 25:17; cf. 26:34; 30:6; 31:7; 37:6).
37:7
Cherubim (Hebrew Plural Hērubhîm)
… From there, from the place "between the c.," God gave his oracles (Ex. 25:18-22; 37:7-9; Num. 7:89) and was therefore called "He who sits above the c." (I Sam. 4:4; II Sam. 6:2; Isa. 37:16; Ps. 80:2; 99:1). When he manifests himself in the storm "he rides upon …
… nor of what is on the earth, nor of what is in the depths of the abysses." In reality, this prohibition was never absolute, at least in a certain period; consider, for example, the cherubim of the ark of the covenant and the bronze serpent (Ex. 25:18; 37:7-9; Num. 21:8-9; Reg. 7:25). It is in the time after the exile, especially in the age of the Maccabees, that Judaism begins to proscribe any image for fear of idolatry.
37:14
… The parallelism between the "spirit of Jahweh" and the redemption of the oppressed can be founded, better, on Is. 42:1 (48:6); 61:1; Ex. 37:14.
37:17
Candelabrum with Seven Branches
… On the seven branches were placed seven lamps (Ex. 25:31-39; 37:17-24), which according to Zech. 4:2, 10 signify "seven eyes of the Lord that range over the whole earth."
37:25
A particularity of the Hebrew altar are the "horns" or projections (Ex. 27:2; 37:25; I Reg. 1:50; Ez. 43:20), at the four upper corners. …
