Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits; its width was one cubit and a half; and its height was one cubit and a half.

2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made for it a crown of gold round about.

He covered it inside and out with pure gold and made for it a border of gold around its top.

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, for the four corners thereof; even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

He cast four rings of gold for its four feet, with two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side.

4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

5 And he put the staves into the rings upon the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

6 And he made a cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half was its length, and one cubit and a half its breadth.

He made an atonement lid of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and its width was one and a half cubits.

7 And he made two cherubim of gold, of beaten work made he them, on the two ends of the cover;

Bezalel made two cherubim of hammered gold for the two ends of the atonement lid.

8 One cherub was on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end; out of the cover itself made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

One cherub was for one end of the atonement lid, and other cherub was for the other end. They were made as one piece with the atonement lid.

9 And the cherubim were spreading forth their wings on high, overshadowing with their wings the cover, with their faces one to the other; toward the cover were the faces of the cherubim directed.

The cherubim spread out their wings upward and overshadowed the atonement lid with them. The cherubim faced one another and looked toward the center of the atonement lid.

13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and he put the rings on the four corners, that were on the four feet thereof.

He cast for it four rings of gold and attached the rings to the four corners, where the four feet were.

14 Close under the rim were the rings, as receptacles for the staves to bear the table.

He made the objects that would be on the table—the dishes, spoons, the bowls, and pitchers to be used to pour out the offerings. He made them out of pure gold.

17 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick, its shaft, and its branches, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers, were out of one piece with it.

He made the lampstand of pure hammered gold. He made the lampstand with its base and shaft. Its cups, its leafy bases, and its flowers were all made of one piece with it.

18 And six branches were coming out of its sides; three branches of the candlestick out of its one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof.

Six branches extended out from its sides—three branches extended from one side, and three branches of the lampstand extended from the other side.

19 Three bowls, almond-shaped, were on one branch, with a knob and a flower; and three bowls, almond-shaped, were on the other branch, with a knob and a flower; so on the six branches that were coming out of the candlestick.

The first branch had three cups made like almond blossoms, with a leafy base and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, with a leafy base and a flower. It was the same for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.

20 And on the candlestick itself were four bowls, almond-shaped, with its knobs, and its flowers:

On the lampstand itself, the central shaft, there were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their leafy bases and the flowers.

21 And a knob was under two branches that came out of the same, and a knob under two branches that came out of the same, and a knob under two branches that came out of the same, for the six branches that proceeded out of it.

There was a leafy base under the first pair of branches—made as one piece with it, and a leafy base under the second pair of branches—also made as one piece with it. In the same way there was a leafy base under the third pair of branches, made as one piece with it. It was the same for all six branches extending out from the lampstand.

22 Their knobs and their branches were out of one piece with it; all of it was one piece of beaten work, of pure gold.
