Exodus37

¹ Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

² He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.

³ He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other.

⁴ Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

⁵ And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

⁶ He made the atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

⁷ Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.

⁸ He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover.

⁹ The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.

¹⁰ They made the table of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.

¹¹ Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.

¹² They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

¹³ They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.

¹⁴ The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.

¹⁵ The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold.

¹⁶ And they made from pure gold the articles for the table—its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.

¹⁷ They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them.

¹⁸ Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other.

¹⁹ Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand.

²⁰ And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.

²¹ One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all.

²² The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.

²³ They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold.

²⁴ They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold.

²⁵ They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high—its horns of one piece with it.

²⁶ They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.

²⁷ They made two gold rings below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it.

²⁸ They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

²⁹ They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense—the work of a perfumer.
