Exodus 37

1 Bezalel made the Ark of acacia wood measuring two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide by one and a half cubits high.

And they made ten curtains for the tabernacle;

2 He covered it with pure gold on the inside and the outside, and made a gold trim to go around it.

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.

3 He cast four gold rings and attached them to its four feet, two on one side and two on the other.

And they made the veil of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, the woven work with cherubs.

4 He made poles of acacia wood and covered them with gold.

And they put it on four posts of incorruptible [wood] overlaid with gold; and their chapiters were gold, and their four sockets were silver.

5 He placed the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, so it could be carried.

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,

6 He made the atonement cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide.

and their posts five, and the rings; and they gilded their chapiters and their clasps with gold, and they had five sockets of brass.

7 He made two cherubim of hammered gold for the ends of the atonement cover,

And they made the court towards the south; the curtains of the court of fine linen twined, a hundred [cubits] every way,

8 and put one cherub on each end. All of this was made from one piece of gold.

and their posts twenty, and their sockets twenty;

9 The cherubim were designed with spread wings pointing upward, covering the atonement cover. The cherubim were placed facing each another, looking down towards the atonement cover.

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.

10 Then he made the table of acacia wood two cubits long by a cubit wide by a cubit and a half high.

And on the west side curtains of fifty cubits, their posts ten and their sockets ten.

11 He covered it with pure gold and made a gold trim to go around it.

And on the east side curtains of fifty cubits of fifteen cubits behind,

12 He made a border around it the width of a hand and put a gold trim on the border.

and their pillars three, and their sockets three.

13 He cast four gold rings for the table and attached them to the four corners of the table by the legs.

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;

14 The rings were close to the border to hold the poles used to carry the table.

all the curtains of the tabernacle of fine linen twined.

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

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:

16 He made utensils for the table from pure gold: plates and dishes, bowls and pitchers for pouring out drink offerings.

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;

17 He made the lampstand of pure, hammered gold. The whole of it was made of one piece—its base, shaft, cups, buds, and flowers.

and their pillars four, and their sockets four of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their chapiters overlaid with silver.

18 It had six branches coming out of the sides of the lampstand, three on each side. It had three cups shaped like almond flowers on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch.

And all the pins of the court round about of brass, and they [were] overlaid with silver.

19 Each of six branches that came out had three cups shaped like almond flowers, all complete with buds and petals.

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.

20 On the main shaft of the lampstand he made four cups shaped like almond flowers, complete with buds and petals.

And Beseleel the son of Urias of the tribe of Juda, did as the Lord commanded Moses.

21 On the six branches that came out of it, he placed a bud under the first pair of branches, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.

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.

22 The buds and branches are to be made with the lampstand as one piece, hammered out of pure gold.

23 He made seven lamps, as well as wick tongs and their trays of pure gold.

24 The lampstand and all these utensils required a talent of pure gold.

25 He made the altar for burning incense from acacia wood. It was square, measuring a cubit by a cubit, by two cubits high, with horns on its corners that were all one piece with the altar.

26 He covered its top, its side, and its horns with pure gold, and made a gold trim to go all around it.

27 He made two gold rings for the altar and attached them below the trim, two on both sides, to hold the poles to carry it.

28 He made the poles of acacia wood and covered them with gold.

29 He made the holy anointing oil and the pure, aromatic incense like the product of an expert perfumer.
