Exodus 37

1 After this, Bezaleel made the Arke of Shittim wood, two cubites and an halfe long and a cubite and an halfe broade, and a cubite and an halfe hie:

Now Bezalel also made the ark from setim wood, having two and one half cubits in length, and one and one half cubits in width, and the height was also one and one half cubits. And he clothed it with the purest gold, inside and out.

2 And ouerlayde it with fine golde within and without, and made a crowne of golde to it rounde about,

And for it he made a crown of gold all around,

3 And cast for it foure rings of golde for the foure corners of it: that is, two rings for the one side of it, and two rings for the other side thereof.

casting four gold rings at its four corners: two rings on one side, and two on the other.

4 Also he made barres of Shittim wood, and couered them with golde,

Likewise, he made bars from setim wood, which he clothed with gold,

5 And put the barres in the rings by the sides of the Arke, to beare the Arke.

and he placed them into the rings, which were at the sides of the ark, to carry it.

6 And he made the Merciseate of pure golde: two cubites and an halfe was the length thereof, and one cubite and an halfe the breadth thereof.

He also made the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, from the finest gold, two and one half cubits in length, and one and one half cubits in width,

7 And he made two Cherubims of gold, vpon the two endes of the Merciseate: euen of worke beaten with the hammer made he them.

and then two Cherubim of ductile gold, which he positioned at the two sides of the propitiatory:

8 One Cherub on the one ende, and another Cherub on the other ende: of the Merciseate made he the Cherubims, at ye two endes thereof.

one Cherub at the top of one side, and the other Cherub at the top of the other side. The two Cherubim were at each end of the propitiatory,

9 And the Cherubims spread out their wings on hie, and couered the Merciseat with their wings, and their faces were one towards another: towarde the Merciseat were the faces of the Cherubims.

spreading their wings, and protecting the propitiatory, and gazing toward it and toward one another.

10 Also he made ye Table of Shittim wood: two cubites was the length thereof, and a cubite the breadth thereof, and a cubite and an halfe the height of it.

He also made the table from setim wood, with a length of two cubits, and a width of one cubit, which had a height of one and one half cubits.

11 And hee ouerlayde it with fine golde, and made thereto a crowne of golde round about.

And he surrounded it with the finest gold, and for it he made a ledge of gold all around,

12 Also he made thereto a border of an hand breadth round about, and made vpon the border a crowne of golde round about.

and for the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, four fingers high, and upon the same, another crown of gold.

13 And he cast for it foure rings of gold, and put the rings in the foure corners that were in the foure feete thereof.

And he cast four gold rings, which he set at the four corners at each foot of the table,

14 Against the border were the rings, as places for the barres to beare the Table.

opposite the crown. And he placed the bars into them, so that the table could be carried.

15 And he made the barres of Shittim wood, and couered them with golde to beare the Table.

Likewise, the bars themselves he made from setim wood, and he surrounded them with gold.

16 Also he made the instruments for the Table of pure golde: dishes for it, and incense cuppes for it, and goblets for it, and couerings for it, wherewith it should be couered.

And he made vessels for the diverse uses of the table, as well as the little cups, and bowls, and measuring cups, and the censers, from pure gold, in which the libations would be offered.

17 Likewise he made the Candlesticke of pure golde: of worke beaten out with the hammer made he the Candlesticke: and his shaft, and his branche, his bolles, his knops, and his floures were of one piece.

He also made the lampstand, formed from the finest gold. The branches, bowls, and little spheres, as well as the lilies, proceeded from its bar:

18 And sixe branches came out of the sides thereof: three branches of the Candlesticke out of the one side of it, and three branches of the Candlesticke out of the other side of it.

six on the two sides, three branches on one side, and three on the other.

19 In one branche three bolles made like almondes, a knop and a floure: and in another branch three bolles made like almondes, a knop and a floure: and so throughout the sixe branches that proceeded out of the Candlesticke.

Three bowls, the size of a nut, were on each branch, with little spheres and lilies, and three bowls, in the likeness of a nut, were on the other branch, with the little spheres together with the lilies. The workmanship of the six branches, which proceeded from the shaft of the lampstand, was equal.

20 And vpon the Candlesticke were foure bolles after the facion of almondes, the knoppes thereof and the floures thereof:

Now on the shaft itself were four bowls, the size of a nut, and little spheres together with each one, and lilies,

21 That is, vnder euery two branches a knop made thereof, and a knop vnder the second branch thereof, and a knop vnder the thirde branche thereof, according to the sixe branches comming out of it.

and little spheres under two branches in three places, which together made six branches proceeding from one bar.

22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: it was all one beaten worke of pure gold.

Thus, both the little spheres and the branches were from the same thing: all hand-worked from the purest gold.

23 And he made for it seuen lampes with the snuffers, and snufdishes thereof of pure golde.

He also made the seven lamps with their candle snuffers, and the vessels where the candles would be extinguished, from the finest gold.

24 Of a talent of pure golde made he it with all the instruments thereof.

The lampstand with all its vessels weighed a talent of gold.

25 Furthermore he made the perfume altar of Shittim wood: the length of it was a cubite, and the breadth of it a cubite (it was square) and two cubites hie, and the hornes thereof were of ye same.

He also made the altar of incense from setim wood, having one cubit on each of four sides, and in height, two. From its corners proceeded horns.

26 And he couered it with pure gold, both the top and the sides thereof rounde about, and the hornes of it, and made vnto it a crowne of golde round about.

And he clothed it with the purest gold, with its grating, as well as the sides and the horns.

27 And he made two rings of gold for it, vnder the crowne thereof in the two corners of the two sides thereof, to put barres in for to beare it therewith.

And for it he made a crown of gold all around, and two gold rings under the crown at each side, so that the bars might be put into them, and the altar could be carried.

28 Also he made the barres of Shittim wood, and ouerlayde them with golde.

Now the bars themselves he also made from setim wood, and he covered them with layers of gold.

29 And he made the holy anointing oyle, and the sweete pure incense after ye apothecaries arte.

He also composed the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and the incense, from the purest aromatics, with the skill of a perfumer.
