10 And they shall make an ARK of sitta wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 And thou shalt cover it with pure gold within and without, and thou shalt make a crown of gold upon it round about. 12 And thou shalt cast for it four rings of gold, and set them upon its four corners, two rings upon one side of it, and two rings upon its other side. 13 And thou shalt make staves of sittin woods, and cover them with gold, 14 and shalt insert the staves in the rings upon the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried upon them. 15 In the rings of the ark shall be the staves, they shall not be removed therefrom. 16 And thou shalt place in the ark the Testimony that I will give thee. 17 And thou shalt make A PROPITIATORY Of pure gold; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. 18 And thou shalt make two KERUBIN of gold, beaten (ductile) shalt thou make them, on the two sides of the propitiatory. 19 And thou shalt make one keruba on this side and one keruba on that side of the propitiatory; thou shalt make the kerubin on its two sides. 20 And the kerubin shall have their wings outspreading above, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings; and their faces shall be opposite one to another, towards the propitiatory shall be the faces of the kerubin. 21 And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the Ark over above, and within the ark shalt thou put the Testimony that I will give thee.

22 And I will appoint My Word (Memra) with thee there; and I will speak with thee from above the Propitiatory, from between the two kerubin that are upon the Ark of the Testimony, all that I may command thee for the sons of Israel.

1 And Bezalel made the ARK of sittin woods; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.

1 And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying, 2 In the day of the first month, in the first of the month, thou shalt uprear the tabernacle, the tabernacle of ordinance. 3 And thou shalt set there the ark of the testimony, and outspread the veil before the ark;

20 And he took and placed the testimony in the ark, and set the staves upon the ark, and placed the mercy seat upon the ark above. 21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and placed the veil which was spread to overshadow the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Mosheh.

89 And when Mosheh had gone into the tabernacle of ordinance to speak with Him, then heard he the Voice of Him who spake with him from above the Mercy Seat over the Ark of the Testimony, between the two Kerubaia; and He spake unto him.

33 And from the mountain on which the glory of the Lord had been revealed they went forward, journeying three days; and the ark of the Lord’s covenant went before them, three days’ journey, to provide for them a place of encampment. 34 And the Cloud of Glory of the Lord overspread them by day as they went forth from their encampments.

35 And when the ark went forward, Mosheh said: Reveal thyself, O Lord, that Thine enemies may be scattered, and Thy adversaries may flee before thee. 36 And when it rested, he said: Return, O Lord, and dwell in Thy glory among the multitudes of the thousands of Israel.

1 And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying: 2 Speak to Elazar bar Aharon the priest, that he take out the censers from among the burnings, and throwaway the fire, for they are consecrated. 3 The censers of those guilty men who sinned against their souls, let him make of them beaten plates, to cover the altar; for they had offered them before the Lord, and they are consecrated; and they shall be for a sign unto the children of Israel. 4 And Elazar the priest took the golden censers, with which they who were burned had offered, and beat them abroad, for a covering for the altar, 5 to be a memorial to the sons of Israel, that no strange man who is not of the seed of Aharon shall approach to burn sweet incense before the Lord, and that he be not as Korach and his company, as the Lord had said to him by the hand of Mosheh.

6 But on the day which followed, all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Mosheh and against Aharon, saying: You have caused the death of the Lord’s people. 7 And it was, while the congregation gathered against Mosheh and against Aharon, that they looked toward the tabernacle of ordinance; and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord was revealed. 8 And Mosheh and Aharon went up before the tabernacle of ordinance; 9 And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying: 10 separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, that I may now consume them. But they fell upon their faces. 11 And Mosheh said to Aharon: Take the censer, and put fire upon it from the altar, and lay on sweet incense, and go quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for anger hath gone forth from before the Lord, the plague hath begun.
