< 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.
וַיַּ֧עַשׂ בְּצַלְאֵ֛ל אֶת־הָאָרֹ֖ן עֲצֵ֣י שִׁטִּ֑ים אַמָּתַ֨יִם וָחֵ֜צִי אָרְכֹּ֗ו וְאַמָּ֤ה וָחֵ֙צִי֙ רָחְבֹּ֔ו וְאַמָּ֥ה וָחֵ֖צִי קֹמָתֹֽו׃
2 He covered it with pure gold on the inside and the outside, and made a gold trim to go around it.
וַיְצַפֵּ֛הוּ זָהָ֥ב טָהֹ֖ור מִבַּ֣יִת וּמִח֑וּץ וַיַּ֥עַשׂ לֹ֛ו זֵ֥ר זָהָ֖ב סָבִֽיב׃
3 He cast four gold rings and attached them to its four feet, two on one side and two on the other.
וַיִּצֹ֣ק לֹ֗ו אַרְבַּע֙ טַבְּעֹ֣ת זָהָ֔ב עַ֖ל אַרְבַּ֣ע פַּעֲמֹתָ֑יו וּשְׁתֵּ֣י טַבָּעֹ֗ת עַל־צַלְעֹו֙ הָֽאֶחָ֔ת וּשְׁתֵּי֙ טַבָּעֹ֔ות עַל־צַלְעֹ֖ו הַשֵּׁנִֽית׃
4 He made poles of acacia wood and covered them with gold.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ בַּדֵּ֖י עֲצֵ֣י שִׁטִּ֑ים וַיְצַ֥ף אֹתָ֖ם זָהָֽב׃
5 He placed the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, so it could be carried.
וַיָּבֵ֤א אֶת־הַבַּדִּים֙ בַּטַּבָּעֹ֔ת עַ֖ל צַלְעֹ֣ת הָאָרֹ֑ן לָשֵׂ֖את אֶת־הָאָרֹֽן׃
6 He made the atonement cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long by a cubit and a half wide.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ כַּפֹּ֖רֶת זָהָ֣ב טָהֹ֑ור אַמָּתַ֤יִם וָחֵ֙צִי֙ אָרְכָּ֔הּ וְאַמָּ֥ה וָחֵ֖צִי רָחְבָּֽהּ׃
7 He made two cherubim of hammered gold for the ends of the atonement cover,
וַיַּ֛עַשׂ שְׁנֵ֥י כְרֻבִ֖ים זָהָ֑ב מִקְשָׁה֙ עָשָׂ֣ה אֹתָ֔ם מִשְּׁנֵ֖י קְצֹ֥ות הַכַּפֹּֽרֶת׃
8 and put one cherub on each end. All of this was made from one piece of gold.
כְּרוּב־אֶחָ֤ד מִקָּצָה֙ מִזֶּ֔ה וּכְרוּב־אֶחָ֥ד מִקָּצָ֖ה מִזֶּ֑ה מִן־הַכַּפֹּ֛רֶת עָשָׂ֥ה אֶת־הַכְּרֻבִ֖ים מִשְּׁנֵ֥י קִצְוֹותֹו (קְצֹותָֽיו)׃
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.
וַיִּהְי֣וּ הַכְּרֻבִים֩ פֹּרְשֵׂ֨י כְנָפַ֜יִם לְמַ֗עְלָה סֹֽכְכִ֤ים בְּכַנְפֵיהֶם֙ עַל־הַכַּפֹּ֔רֶת וּפְנֵיהֶ֖ם אִ֣ישׁ אֶל־אָחִ֑יו אֶל־הַכַּפֹּ֔רֶת הָי֖וּ פְּנֵ֥י הַכְּרֻבִֽים׃ פ
10 Then he made the table of acacia wood two cubits long by a cubit wide by a cubit and a half high.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַשֻּׁלְחָ֖ן עֲצֵ֣י שִׁטִּ֑ים אַמָּתַ֤יִם אָרְכֹּו֙ וְאַמָּ֣ה רָחְבֹּ֔ו וְאַמָּ֥ה וָחֵ֖צִי קֹמָתֹֽו׃
11 He covered it with pure gold and made a gold trim to go around it.
וַיְצַ֥ף אֹתֹ֖ו זָהָ֣ב טָהֹ֑ור וַיַּ֥עַשׂ לֹ֛ו זֵ֥ר זָהָ֖ב סָבִֽיב׃
12 He made a border around it the width of a hand and put a gold trim on the border.
וַיַּ֨עַשׂ לֹ֥ו מִסְגֶּ֛רֶת טֹ֖פַח סָבִ֑יב וַיַּ֧עַשׂ זֵר־זָהָ֛ב לְמִסְגַּרְתֹּ֖ו סָבִֽיב׃
13 He cast four gold rings for the table and attached them to the four corners of the table by the legs.
וַיִּצֹ֣ק לֹ֔ו אַרְבַּ֖ע טַבְּעֹ֣ת זָהָ֑ב וַיִּתֵּן֙ אֶת־הַטַּבָּעֹ֔ת עַ֚ל אַרְבַּ֣ע הַפֵּאֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֖ר לְאַרְבַּ֥ע רַגְלָֽיו׃
14 The rings were close to the border to hold the poles used to carry the table.
לְעֻמַּת֙ הַמִּסְגֶּ֔רֶת הָי֖וּ הַטַּבָּעֹ֑ת בָּתִּים֙ לַבַּדִּ֔ים לָשֵׂ֖את אֶת־הַשֻּׁלְחָֽן׃
15 He made the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table and covered them with gold.
וַיַּ֤עַשׂ אֶת־הַבַּדִּים֙ עֲצֵ֣י שִׁטִּ֔ים וַיְצַ֥ף אֹתָ֖ם זָהָ֑ב לָשֵׂ֖את אֶת־הַשֻּׁלְחָֽן׃
16 He made utensils for the table from pure gold: plates and dishes, bowls and pitchers for pouring out drink offerings.
וַיַּ֜עַשׂ אֶֽת־הַכֵּלִ֣ים ׀ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־הַשֻּׁלְחָ֗ן אֶת־קְעָרֹתָ֤יו וְאֶת־כַּפֹּתָיו֙ וְאֵת֙ מְנַקִּיֹּתָ֔יו וְאֶת־הַקְּשָׂוֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֻסַּ֖ךְ בָּהֵ֑ן זָהָ֖ב טָהֹֽור׃ פ
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.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַמְּנֹרָ֖ה זָהָ֣ב טָהֹ֑ור מִקְשָׁ֞ה עָשָׂ֤ה אֶת־הַמְּנֹרָה֙ יְרֵכָ֣הּ וְקָנָ֔הּ גְּבִיעֶ֛יהָ כַּפְתֹּרֶ֥יהָ וּפְרָחֶ֖יהָ מִמֶּ֥נָּה הָיֽוּ׃
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.
וְשִׁשָּׁ֣ה קָנִ֔ים יֹצְאִ֖ים מִצִּדֶּ֑יהָ שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה ׀ קְנֵ֣י מְנֹרָ֗ה מִצִּדָּהּ֙ הָֽאֶחָ֔ד וּשְׁלֹשָׁה֙ קְנֵ֣י מְנֹרָ֔ה מִצִּדָּ֖הּ הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃
19 Each of six branches that came out had three cups shaped like almond flowers, all complete with buds and petals.
שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה גְ֠בִעִים מְֽשֻׁקָּדִ֞ים בַּקָּנֶ֣ה הָאֶחָד֮ כַּפְתֹּ֣ר וָפֶרַח֒ וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה גְבִעִ֗ים מְשֻׁקָּדִ֛ים בְּקָנֶ֥ה אֶחָ֖ד כַּפְתֹּ֣ר וָפָ֑רַח כֵּ֚ן לְשֵׁ֣שֶׁת הַקָּנִ֔ים הַיֹּצְאִ֖ים מִן־הַמְּנֹרָֽה׃
20 On the main shaft of the lampstand he made four cups shaped like almond flowers, complete with buds and petals.
וּבַמְּנֹרָ֖ה אַרְבָּעָ֣ה גְבִעִ֑ים מְשֻׁ֨קָּדִ֔ים כַּפְתֹּרֶ֖יהָ וּפְרָחֶֽיהָ׃
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.
וְכַפְתֹּ֡ר תַּחַת֩ שְׁנֵ֨י הַקָּנִ֜ים מִמֶּ֗נָּה וְכַפְתֹּר֙ תַּ֣חַת שְׁנֵ֤י הַקָּנִים֙ מִמֶּ֔נָּה וְכַפְתֹּ֕ר תַּֽחַת־שְׁנֵ֥י הַקָּנִ֖ים מִמֶּ֑נָּה לְשֵׁ֙שֶׁת֙ הַקָּנִ֔ים הַיֹּצְאִ֖ים מִמֶּֽנָּה׃
22 The buds and branches are to be made with the lampstand as one piece, hammered out of pure gold.
כַּפְתֹּרֵיהֶ֥ם וּקְנֹתָ֖ם מִמֶּ֣נָּה הָי֑וּ כֻּלָּ֛הּ מִקְשָׁ֥ה אַחַ֖ת זָהָ֥ב טָהֹֽור׃
23 He made seven lamps, as well as wick tongs and their trays of pure gold.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־נֵרֹתֶ֖יהָ שִׁבְעָ֑ה וּמַלְקָחֶ֥יהָ וּמַחְתֹּתֶ֖יהָ זָהָ֥ב טָהֹֽור׃
24 The lampstand and all these utensils required a talent of pure gold.
כִּכָּ֛ר זָהָ֥ב טָהֹ֖ור עָשָׂ֣ה אֹתָ֑הּ וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־כֵּלֶֽיהָ׃ פ
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.
וַיַּ֛עַשׂ אֶת־מִזְבַּ֥ח הַקְּטֹ֖רֶת עֲצֵ֣י שִׁטִּ֑ים אַמָּ֣ה אָרְכֹּו֩ וְאַמָּ֨ה רָחְבֹּ֜ו רָב֗וּעַ וְאַמָּתַ֙יִם֙ קֹֽמָתֹ֔ו מִמֶּ֖נּוּ הָי֥וּ קַרְנֹתָֽיו׃
26 He covered its top, its side, and its horns with pure gold, and made a gold trim to go all around it.
וַיְצַ֨ף אֹתֹ֜ו זָהָ֣ב טָהֹ֗ור אֶת־גַּגֹּ֧ו וְאֶת־קִירֹתָ֛יו סָבִ֖יב וְאֶת־קַרְנֹתָ֑יו וַיַּ֥עַשׂ לֹ֛ו זֵ֥ר זָהָ֖ב סָבִֽיב׃
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.
וּשְׁתֵּי֩ טַבְּעֹ֨ת זָהָ֜ב עָֽשָׂה־לֹ֣ו ׀ מִתַּ֣חַת לְזֵרֹ֗ו עַ֚ל שְׁתֵּ֣י צַלְעֹתָ֔יו עַ֖ל שְׁנֵ֣י צִדָּ֑יו לְבָתִּ֣ים לְבַדִּ֔ים לָשֵׂ֥את אֹתֹ֖ו בָּהֶֽם׃
28 He made the poles of acacia wood and covered them with gold.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַבַּדִּ֖ים עֲצֵ֣י שִׁטִּ֑ים וַיְצַ֥ף אֹתָ֖ם זָהָֽב׃
29 He made the holy anointing oil and the pure, aromatic incense like the product of an expert perfumer.
וַיַּ֜עַשׂ אֶת־שֶׁ֤מֶן הַמִּשְׁחָה֙ קֹ֔דֶשׁ וְאֶת־קְטֹ֥רֶת הַסַּמִּ֖ים טָהֹ֑ור מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה רֹקֵֽחַ׃ פ
