Exodus 37

1 And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

And Beseleel made also the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without.

2 And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

And he made to it a crown of gold round about,

3 And he cast four rings of gold for it, in the four feet of it, even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.

4 And he made staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.

And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,

5 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.

6 And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it.

He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth.

7 And he made two cherubim of gold, of beaten work he made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat,

Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:

8 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end, of one piece with the mercy-seat. He made the cherubim at the two ends of it.

One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,

9 And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy-seat.

Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.

10 And he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half.

11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about.

12 And he made to it a border of a handbreadth round about, and made a golden crown to the border of it round about.

And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers’ breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.

13 And he cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that were on the four feet of it,

And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,

14 close by the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.

15 And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold,

16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, the dishes of it, and the spoons of it, and the bowls of it, and the flagons of it, with which to pour out, of pure gold.

And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered.

17 And he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of beaten work, even its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, were of one piece with it.

He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. From the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out:

18 And there were six branches going out of the sides of it, three branches of the lampstand out of the one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it,

Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.

19 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knob and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies; and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.

20 And in the lampstand were four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knobs of it, and the flowers of it,

And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:

21 and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.

And bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft.

22 Their knobs and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.

23 And he made the lamps of it, seven, and the snuffers of it, and the snuff dishes of it, of pure gold.

He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.

24 He made it of a talent of pure gold, and all the vessels of it.

The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.

25 And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it, foursquare, and two cubits was the height of it. The horns of it were of one piece with it.

He made also the altar of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns.

26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top of it, and the sides of it round about, and the horns of it. And he made to it a crown of gold round about.

And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate and the sides, and the horns.

27 And he made for it two golden rings under the crown of it, upon the two ribs of it, upon the two sides of it, for places for staves with which to bear it.

And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried.

28 And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.

And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold.

29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.

He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.
