Exodus 37

1 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.

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.

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

And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 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.

And he made an ark-cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

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

And he made two cherubim of gold: of beaten work made he them, at the two ends of the ark-cover:

8 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,

one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the ark-cover made he the cherubim at the two ends thereof.

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

And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, screening the ark-cover with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the ark-cover were the faces of the cherubim.

10 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.

And he made the table of acacia-wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

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

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

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

And he made unto it a border of a hand-breadth round about, and made a golden crown to the border thereof round about.

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

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

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

Close by the border were the rings, the holders for the staves to bear the table.

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

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

16 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.

And he made the vessels which were upon the table, the dishes thereof, and the pans thereof, and the bowls thereof, and the jars thereof, wherewith to pour out, of pure gold.

17 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:

And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, were of one piece with it.

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

And there were six branches going out of the sides thereof: three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof;

19 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.

three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower. So for the six branches going out of the candlestick.

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

And in the candlestick were four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof;

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

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

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

Their knops and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

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

And he made the lamps thereof, seven, and the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, of pure gold.

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

Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.

25 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.

And he made the altar of incense of acacia-wood: a cubit was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, four-square; and two cubits was the height thereof; the horns thereof were of one piece with it.

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

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

27 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.

And he made for it two golden rings under the crown thereof, upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it, for holders for staves wherewith to bear it.

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

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

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

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