< Exodus 37 >

1 And they made ten curtains for the tabernacle;
Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits; its width was one cubit and a half; and its height was one cubit and a half.
2 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.
He covered it inside and out with pure gold and made for it a border of gold around its top.
3 And they made the veil of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, the woven work with cherubs.
He cast four rings of gold for its four feet, with two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side.
4 And they put it on four posts of incorruptible [wood] overlaid with gold; and their chapiters were gold, and their four sockets were silver.
He made poles of acacia wood and covered them with gold.
5 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,
He put the poles into the rings on the ark's sides, in order to carry the ark.
6 and their posts five, and the rings; and they gilded their chapiters and their clasps with gold, and they had five sockets of brass.
He made an atonement lid of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and its width was one and a half cubits.
7 And they made the court toward the south; the curtains of the court of fine linen twined, a hundred [cubits] every way,
Bezalel made two cherubim of hammered gold for the two ends of the atonement lid.
8 and their posts twenty, and their sockets twenty;
One cherub was for one end of the atonement lid, and other cherub was for the other end. They were made as one piece with the atonement lid.
9 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.
The cherubim spread out their wings upward and overshadowed the atonement lid with them. The cherubim faced one another and looked toward the center of the atonement lid.
10 And on the west side curtains of fifty cubits, their posts ten and their sockets ten.
Bezalel made the table of acacia wood. Its length was two cubits, its width was one cubit, and its height was one and a half cubits.
11 And on the east side curtains of fifty cubits of fifteen cubits behind,
He covered it with pure gold and put a border of pure gold around the top.
12 and their pillars three, and their sockets three.
He made a surrounding frame for it one handbreadth wide, with a surrounding border of gold for the frame.
13 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;
He cast for it four rings of gold and attached the rings to the four corners, where the four feet were.
14 all the curtains of the tabernacle of fine linen twined.
The rings were attached to the frame to provide places for the poles, in order to carry the table.
15 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:
He made the poles out of acacia wood and covered them with gold, in order to carry the table.
16 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;
He made the objects that would be on the table—the dishes, spoons, the bowls, and pitchers to be used to pour out the offerings. He made them out of pure gold.
17 and their pillars four, and their sockets four of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their chapiters overlaid with silver.
He made the lampstand of pure hammered gold. He made the lampstand with its base and shaft. Its cups, its leafy bases, and its flowers were all made of one piece with it.
18 And all the pins of the court round about of brass, and they [were] overlaid with silver.
Six branches extended out from its sides—three branches extended from one side, and three branches of the lampstand extended from the other side.
19 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.
The first branch had three cups made like almond blossoms, with a leafy base and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, with a leafy base and a flower. It was the same for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.
20 And Beseleel the son of Urias of the tribe of Juda, did as the Lord commanded Moses.
On the lampstand itself, the central shaft, there were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their leafy bases and the flowers.
21 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.
There was a leafy base under the first pair of branches—made as one piece with it, and a leafy base under the second pair of branches—also made as one piece with it. In the same way there was a leafy base under the third pair of branches, made as one piece with it. It was the same for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.
Their leafy bases and branches were all one piece with it, one beaten piece of work of pure gold.
Bezalel made the lampstand and its seven lamps, its tongs and their trays of pure gold.
He made the lampstand and its accessories with one talent of pure gold.
Bezalel made the incense altar. He made it with acacia wood. Its length was one cubit, and its width one cubit. It was square, and its height was two cubits. Its horns were made as one piece with it.
He covered the incense altar with pure gold—its top, its sides, and its horns. He also made a surrounding border of gold for it.
He made two golden rings to be attached to it under its border on its two opposite sides. The rings were holders for poles to carry the altar.
He made the poles of acacia wood, and he covered them with gold.
He made the holy anointing oil and the pure fragrant incense, the work of a perfumer.
