Exodus 37

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

And Bezaleel makes the Ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold for it around it.

and he overlays it with pure gold inside and outside, and makes a wreath of gold for it all around;

3 He cast four rings of gold for it in its four feet—two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.

and he casts four rings of gold for it on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

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

and he makes poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold,

5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

and he brings in the poles into the rings, by the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark.

6 He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit and a half its width.

And he makes a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

7 He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat:

and he makes two cherubim of gold; he has made them of beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering—

8 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.

one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; he has made the cherubim from [above] the propitiatory covering, at its two ends;

9 The cherubim spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

and the cherubim are spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another; the faces of the cherubim have been toward the propitiatory covering.

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

And he makes the table of shittim wood; two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,

11 He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.

and overlays it with pure gold, and makes a wreath of gold for it all around.

12 He made a border of a hand’s width around it, and made a golden molding on its border around it.

And he makes a border for it of a handbreadth around, and makes a wreath of gold around for its border;

13 He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that were on its four feet.

and he casts four rings of gold for it, and puts the rings on the four corners which [are] at its four feet;

14 The rings were close by the border, the places for the poles to carry the table.

the rings have been close by the border, places for poles to carry the table.

15 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.

And he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold, to carry the table;

16 He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, its spoons, its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out, of pure gold.

and he makes the vessels which [are] on the table, its dishes, and its bowls, and its cups, and the cups by which they pour out, of pure gold.

17 He made the lamp stand of pure gold. He made the lamp stand of beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were of one piece with it.

And he makes the lampstand of pure gold; he has made the lampstand of beaten work, its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers, have been of the same;

18 There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side:

and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its second side;

19 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand.

three calyxes, made like almonds, in one branch, a knob and a flower; and three calyxes, made like almonds, in another branch, a knob and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand.

20 In the lamp stand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;

And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers,

21 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.

and a knob under the two branches of the same, and a knob under the two branches of the same, and a knob under the two branches of the same, [are] for the six branches which are coming out of it;

22 Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold.

their knobs and their branches have been of the same; all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

23 He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, of pure gold.

And he makes its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold;

24 He made it of a talent of pure gold, with all its vessels.

he has made it of a talent of pure gold, and with all its vessels.

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

And he makes the incense-altar of shittim wood; a cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth (square), and two cubits its height; its horns have been of the same;

26 He overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides around it, and its horns. He made a gold molding around it.

and he overlays it with pure gold, around its top and its sides, and its horns; and he makes a wreath of gold for it all around;

27 He made two golden rings for it under its molding crown, on its two ribs, on its two sides, for places for poles with which to carry it.

and he has made two rings of gold for it under its wreath, at its two corners, at its two sides, for places for poles to carry it with them.

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

And he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold;

29 He made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.

and he makes the holy anointing oil, and the pure spice-incense—work of a compounder.
