But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, {as} silver and gold, from your vain conversation {received} by tradition from your fathers;

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, {even} the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it. {basons: or, bowls}

And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy {place} before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day. {ends: Heb. heads} {holy...: or, ark}

And thou shalt make staves {of} shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
