Exodus 37

1 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.

And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

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

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

3 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.

And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

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

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

5 He put the poles into the rings on the ark's sides, in order to carry the ark.

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

6 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.

And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

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

And he made two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

8 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.

One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof.

9 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.

And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.

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

And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:

11 He covered it with pure gold and put a border of pure gold around the top.

And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

12 He made a surrounding frame for it one handbreadth wide, with a surrounding border of gold for the frame.

Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

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

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

14 The rings were attached to the frame to provide places for the poles, in order to carry the table.

Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

15 He made the poles out of acacia wood and covered them with gold, in order to carry the table.

And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

16 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.

And he made the vessels which were on the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover with, of pure gold.

17 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.

And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:

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

And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:

19 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.

Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a bud and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.

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

And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

21 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.

And a bud under two branches of the same, and a bud under two branches of the same, and a bud under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.

22 Their leafy bases and branches were all one piece with it, one beaten piece of work of pure gold.

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

23 Bezalel made the lampstand and its seven lamps, its tongs and their trays of pure gold.

And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his firepans, of pure gold.

24 He made the lampstand and its accessories with one talent of pure gold.

Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.

25 Bezalel made the incense altar. He made it with acacia wood. Its length was one cubit, and its width one cubit. It was square, and its height was two cubits. Its horns were made as one piece with it.

And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.

26 He covered the incense altar with pure gold—its top, its sides, and its horns. He also made a surrounding border of gold for it.

And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made to it a crown of gold round about.

27 He made two golden rings to be attached to it under its border on its two opposite sides. The rings were holders for poles to carry the altar.

And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, on the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it with.

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

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

29 He made the holy anointing oil and the pure fragrant incense, the work of a perfumer.

And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
