< Exodus 37 >

1 And they made ten curtains for the tabernacle;
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.
2 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.
And he made to it a crown of gold round about,
3 And they made the veil of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, the woven work with cherubs.
Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.
4 And they put it on four posts of incorruptible [wood] overlaid with gold; and their chapiters were gold, and their four sockets were silver.
And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,
5 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,
And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.
6 and their posts five, and the rings; and they gilded their chapiters and their clasps with gold, and they had five sockets of brass.
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.
7 And they made the court toward the south; the curtains of the court of fine linen twined, a hundred [cubits] every way,
Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:
8 and their posts twenty, and their sockets twenty;
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,
9 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.
Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.
10 And on the west side curtains of fifty cubits, their posts ten and their sockets ten.
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.
11 And on the east side curtains of fifty cubits of fifteen cubits behind,
And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about.
12 and their pillars three, and their sockets three.
And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers’ breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.
13 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;
And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,
14 all the curtains of the tabernacle of fine linen twined.
Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.
15 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:
And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold,
16 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;
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.
17 and their pillars four, and their sockets four of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their chapiters overlaid with silver.
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:
18 And all the pins of the court round about of brass, and they [were] overlaid with silver.
Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.
19 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.
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.
20 And Beseleel the son of Urias of the tribe of Juda, did as the Lord commanded Moses.
And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:
21 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.
And bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft.
So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.
He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.
The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.
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 overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate and the sides, and the horns.
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 the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold.
He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.
