Translation commentary on Exod 37:18 - 37:19

These verses are exactly identical with 25.32-33, with only the verb And there were changed from “and there shall be.” In the Hebrew on the other branch is literally “on one branch,” without the definite article, as in 25.33. Translators, however, should probably not try to show this minor distinction.
