1 Forsothe Beseleel made also an arke of the trees of Sechym, hauynge twey cubitis and an half in lengthe, and a cubit and an half in breede; forsothe the hiynesse was of o cubit and an half; and he clothide the arke with purest gold, with ynne and without forth.

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 he made to it a goldun coroun `bi cumpas,

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

3 and yetide foure goldun ryngis, bi foure corneris therof, twey ryngis in o side, and twei ryngis in the tother side.

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

4 And he made barris of the trees of Sechym, whiche barris he clothide with gold,

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

5 and whiche barris he putte into the ryngis that weren in the sidis of the arke, to bere it.

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

6 He made also a propiciatorie, that is, Goddis answeryng place, of pureste gold, of twei cubitis and an half in lengthe, and of o cubit and an half in breede.

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 Also he made twei cherubyns of gold, betun out with hamer, whiche he settide on euer eithir side of the propiciatorie,

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

8 o cherub in the hiynesse of o part, and the tother cherub in the hiynesse of the tothir part; twei cherubyns, oon in ech hiynesse of the propiciatorie, stretchynge out the wengis,

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 hilynge the propiciatorie, and biholdynge hem silf togidere and that.

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

10 He made also a boord of `the trees of Sechym, in the lengthe of twey cubitis, and in the breede of o cubit, whiche boord hadde `a cubit and an half in heiythe.

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 he cumpaside the boord with clenneste gold, and made to it a goldun brynke bi cumpas;

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

12 and he made to that brynke a goldun coroun, rasid bitwixe of foure fyngris; and on the same coroun he made anothir goldun coroun.

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

13 Also he yetide foure goldun serclis whiche he settide in foure corneris,

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

14 bi alle the feet of the boord ayens the coroun, and he puttide barris in to the serclis, that the `boord may be borun.

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

15 And he made tho barris of the trees of Sechym, and cumpasside tho with gold.

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

16 And he made vesselis to dyuerse vsis of the boord, vessels of vynegre, violis, and litle cuppis, and censeris of pure gold, in whiche the fletynge sacrifices schulen be offrid.

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 And he made a candilstike, betun out with hamer, of clenneste gold, of whos barre yerdis, cuppis, and litle rundelis and lilies camen forth;

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 sixe in euer eithir side, thre yerdis on o side, and thre on the tother side; thre cuppis in the maner of a note bi ech yerde, and litle rundels to gidere, and lilies;

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

19 and thre cuppis at the licnesse of a note in the tother yerde, and litle rundels to gidere, and lilies; forsothe the werk of sixe schaftis, that camen forth of the `stok of the candilstike, was euene.

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 Sotheli in that barre weren foure cuppis, in the maner of a note, and litle rundels and lilies weren bi alle cuppis;

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

21 and litle rundels vndur twei schaftis, bi thre placis, whiche to gidre be maad sixe schaftis comynge forth of o barre;

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

22 therfor and the litle rundels, and schaftis therof, weren alle betun out with hamer, of pureste gold.

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

23 He made also seuene lanternes, with her `snytyng tongis, and the vessels where `tho thingis, that ben snytid out, ben quenchid, of clennest gold.

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

24 The candilstike with alle his vessels weiyede a talent of gold.

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

25 He made also the auter of encense, of trees of Sechym, hauynge a cubit bi square, and twei cubitis in heiythe, of whos corneris camen forth hornes.

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 clothide it with clenneste gold, and the gridele, and wallis, and hornes;

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

27 and he made to it a litil goldun coroun bi cumpas, and twei goldun ryngis vndur the coroun, bi ech syde, that barris be put in to tho, and the auter mow be borun.

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 Forsothe he made tho barris of the trees of Sechym, and hilide with goldun platis.

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

29 He made also oile to the oynement of halewyng, and encense of swete smellynge spiceries, moost clene, bi the werk of `a makere of oynement.

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