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 Bezaleel made the ark [of] shittim 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, [to be set] by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

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

And he made staves [of] shittim 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 by 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 the mercy seat [of] pure gold: two cubits and a half [was] the length thereof, and one 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 cherubims [of] gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

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 on the end on this side, and another cherub on the [other] end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

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

And the cherubims spread out [their] wings on high, [and] covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; [even] to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

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] shittim 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 thereunto 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.

Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for 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 upon the four corners that [were] in the four feet thereof.

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

Over against the border were the rings, the places 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] shittim 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, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, [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; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:

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

And 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 bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout 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 bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

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 the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to 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 the same: all 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 his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, [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 incense altar [of] shittim wood: the length of it [was] a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; [it was] foursquare; and two cubits [was] the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.

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, [both] the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also 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 two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.

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

And he made the staves [of] shittim 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, according to the work of the apothecary.
