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 maketh 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 overlayeth it with pure gold within and without, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;

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

and he casteth for it four rings of gold, 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 maketh staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold,

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

and he bringeth in the staves into the rings, by the sides of the ark, to bear 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 maketh a mercy-seat 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 maketh two cherubs of gold, of beaten work he hath made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

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, out of the mercy-seat he hath made the cherubs, 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 cherubs are spreading out wings on high, covering over the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another; towards the mercy-seat have the faces of the cherubs been.

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

And he maketh 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 overlayeth it with pure gold, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about.

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

And he maketh for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and maketh a wreath of gold for its border round about;

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

and he casteth for it four rings of gold, and putteth the rings on the four corners which [are] to its four feet;

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

over-against the border have the rings been, places for staves to bear the table.

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

And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold, to bear 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 maketh the vessels which [are] upon 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 maketh the candlestick of pure gold; of beaten work he hath made the candlestick, its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, 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 candlestick out of its one side, and three branches of the candlestick 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 the one branch, a knop and a flower; and three calyxes, made like almonds, in another branch, a knop and a flower; so to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick.

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

And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knops, 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 knop under the two branches of the same, and a knop under the two branches of the same, and a knop under the two branches of the same, [are] to 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 knops 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 maketh 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.

of a talent of pure gold he hath made it, and 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 maketh the perfume-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 overlayeth it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about, and its horns; and he maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;

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

and two rings of gold he hath made for it under its wreath, at its two corners, at its two sides, for places for staves to bear it with them.

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

And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold;

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

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