Exodus 37

1 Bezalel went on to construct the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

And they made ten curtains for the tabernacle;

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

of eight and twenty cubits the length of one curtain: the same [measure] was to all, and the breadth of one curtain was of four cubits.

3 And he cast four gold rings for its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.

And they made the veil of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, the woven work with cherubs.

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

And they put it on four posts of incorruptible [wood] overlaid with gold; and their chapiters were gold, and their four sockets were silver.

5 He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it.

And they made the veil of the door of the tabernacle of witness of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, woven work with cherubs,

6 He constructed a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

and their posts five, and the rings; and they gilded their chapiters and their clasps with gold, and they had five sockets of brass.

7 He made two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,

And they made the court toward the south; the curtains of the court of fine linen twined, a hundred [cubits] every way,

8 one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.

and their posts twenty, and their sockets twenty;

9 And the cherubim had wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the mercy seat.

and on the north side a hundred every way, and on the south side a hundred every way, and their posts twenty and their sockets twenty.

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

And on the west side curtains of fifty cubits, their posts ten and their sockets ten.

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

And on the east side curtains of fifty cubits of fifteen cubits behind,

12 And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

and their pillars three, and their sockets three.

13 He cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners at its four legs.

And at the second back on this side and on that by the gate of the court, curtains of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three;

14 The rings were placed close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table.

all the curtains of the tabernacle of fine linen twined.

15 He made the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table and overlaid them with gold.

And the sockets of their pillars of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their chapiters overlaid with silver, and all the posts of the court overlaid with silver:

16 He also made the utensils for the table out of pure gold: its plates and dishes, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.

and the veil of the gate of the court, the work of an embroiderer of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined; the length of twenty cubits, and the height and the breadth of five cubits, made equal to the curtains of the court;

17 Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold, all of one piece: its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.

and their pillars four, and their sockets four of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their chapiters overlaid with silver.

18 Six branches extended from the sides, three on one side and three on the other.

And all the pins of the court round about of brass, and they [were] overlaid with silver.

19 There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extended from the lampstand.

And this was the construction of the tabernacle of witness, accordingly as it was appointed to Moses; so that the public service should belong to the Levites, through Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

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

And Beseleel the son of Urias of the tribe of Juda, did as the Lord commanded Moses.

21 A bud was under the first pair of branches that extended from the lampstand, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.

And Eliab the son of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan [was there], who was chief artificer in the woven works and needle-works and embroideries, in weaving with the scarlet and fine linen.

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

23 He also made its seven lamps, its wick trimmers, and trays of pure gold.

24 He made the lampstand and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.

25 He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns were of one piece.

26 And he overlaid with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns. Then he made a molding of gold around it.

27 He made two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.

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

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