So repetition of sound is a significant element in Hebrew poetry and prose. The sounds circle the key points. What then are the key points of this little section? Are there secondary circles that would highlight other central issues? Does the music tell us anything?
Second question: what gloss would you chose for do/make/construct (all the same word in Hebrew)? Refer back to Genesis 1. The making of the tabernacle is as important and I think parallel to the making of the created order.

| Exodus 25 | |||
| וְנָתַתָּ֖ אֶל־הָאָרֹ֑ן אֵ֚ת הָעֵדֻ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֶתֵּ֖ן אֵלֶֽיךָ | 16 | And you will yield to the ark, the testimony that I will yield to you. | 8 11 |
| וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ כַפֹּ֖רֶת זָהָ֣ב טָה֑וֹר אַמָּתַ֤יִם וָחֵ֙צִי֙ אָרְכָּ֔הּ וְאַמָּ֥ה וָחֵ֖צִי רָחְבָּֽהּ | 17 | And you will make a mercy seat of lustrous gold, two cubits and a half in length and a cubit and a half broad. | 11 16 |
| וְעָשִׂ֛יתָ שְׁנַ֥יִם כְּרֻבִ֖ים זָהָ֑ב מִקְשָׁה֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה אֹתָ֔ם מִשְּׁנֵ֖י קְצ֥וֹת הַכַּפֹּֽרֶת | 18 | And you will construct two cherubim of gold. From hammered work you will construct them from the two extremes of the mercy seat. | 11 15 |
| וַ֠עֲשֵׂה כְּר֨וּב אֶחָ֤ד מִקָּצָה֙ מִזֶּ֔ה וּכְרוּב־אֶחָ֥ד מִקָּצָ֖ה מִזֶּ֑ה מִן־הַכַּפֹּ֛רֶת תַּעֲשׂ֥וּ אֶת־הַכְּרֻבִ֖ים עַל־שְׁנֵ֥י קְצוֹתָֽיו | 19 | Construct one cherub from this extremity and one cherub from this extremity. From the mercy seat you will construct the cherubim on both its extremities. | 21 18 |
| וְהָי֣וּ הַכְּרֻבִים֩ פֹּרְשֵׂ֨י כְנָפַ֜יִם לְמַ֗עְלָה סֹכְכִ֤ים בְּכַנְפֵיהֶם֙ עַל־הַכַּפֹּ֔רֶת וּפְנֵיהֶ֖ם אִ֣ישׁ אֶל־אָחִ֑יו אֶל־הַכַּפֹּ֔רֶת יִהְי֖וּ פְּנֵ֥י הַכְּרֻבִֽים | 20 | So the cherubim will spread their wings to the ascendant, their wings overshadowing above the mercy seat and their faces each to its kin. To the mercy seat will be the faces of the cherubim. | 32 12 |
| וְנָתַתָּ֧ אֶת־הַכַּפֹּ֛רֶת עַל־הָאָרֹ֖ן מִלְמָ֑עְלָה וְאֶל־הָ֣אָרֹ֔ן תִּתֵּן֙ אֶת־הָ֣עֵדֻ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֶתֵּ֖ן אֵלֶֽיךָ | 21 | And you will yield the mercy seat onto the ark from the ascent, and to the ark you will yield the testimony that I will yield to you. | 16 18 |
