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 Bezaleel makes the Ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

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

and he overlays it with pure gold inside and outside, and makes a wreath of gold for it all around;

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

and he casts four rings of gold for it on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

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

and he makes poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold,

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

and he brings in the poles into the rings, by the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark.

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

And he makes a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

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

and he makes two cherubim of gold; he has made them of beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering—

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

one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; he has made the cherubim from [above] the propitiatory covering, at its two ends;

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

and the cherubim are spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another; the faces of the cherubim have been toward the propitiatory covering.

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

And he makes the table of shittim wood; two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,

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

and overlays it with pure gold, and makes a wreath of gold for it all around.

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

And he makes a border for it of a handbreadth around, and makes a wreath of gold around for its border;

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

and he casts four rings of gold for it, and puts the rings on the four corners which [are] at its four feet;

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

the rings have been close by the border, places for poles to carry the table.

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

And he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold, to carry the table;

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 he makes the vessels which [are] on the table, its dishes, and its bowls, and its cups, and the cups by which they pour out, of pure gold.

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 he makes the lampstand of pure gold; he has made the lampstand of beaten work, its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers, have been of the same;

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

and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its second side;

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.

three calyxes, made like almonds, in one branch, a knob and a flower; and three calyxes, made like almonds, in another branch, a knob and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand.

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

And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers,

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 a knob under the two branches of the same, and a knob under the two branches of the same, and a knob under the two branches of the same, [are] for the six branches which are coming out of it;

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

their knobs and their branches have been of the same; all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

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

And he makes its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold;

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

he has made it of a talent of pure gold, and with all its vessels.

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.

And he makes the incense-altar of shittim wood; a cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth (square), and two cubits its height; its horns have been of the same;

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

and he overlays it with pure gold, around its top and its sides, and its horns; and he makes a wreath of gold for it all around;

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

and he has made two rings of gold for it under its wreath, at its two corners, at its two sides, for places for poles to carry it with them.

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

And he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold;

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

and he makes the holy anointing oil, and the pure spice-incense—work of a compounder.
