Exodus 37

1 And Bezaleel maketh 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;

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 and he overlayeth it with pure gold within and without, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;

And he made to it a crown of gold round about,

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

Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.

4 and he maketh staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold,

And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,

5 and he bringeth in the staves into the rings, by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.

6 And he maketh a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

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 he maketh two cherubs of gold, of beaten work he hath made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:

8 one cherub at the end on this [side], and one cherub at the end on that, out of the mercy-seat he hath made the cherubs, at its two ends;

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 the cherubs are spreading out wings on high, covering over the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another; towards the mercy-seat have the faces of the cherubs been.

Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.

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

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 overlayeth it with pure gold, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about.

And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about.

12 And he maketh for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and maketh a wreath of gold for its border round about;

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 he casteth for it four rings of gold, and putteth the rings on the four corners which [are] to its four feet;

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

14 over-against the border have the rings been, places for staves to bear the table.

Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.

15 And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold, to bear the table;

And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold,

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

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 he maketh the candlestick of pure gold; of beaten work he hath made the candlestick, its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers, have been of the same;

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

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

19 three calyxes, made like almonds, in the one branch, a knop and a flower; and three calyxes, made like almonds, in another branch, a knop and a flower; so to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick.

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 in the candlestick [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knops, and its flowers,

And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:

21 and a knop under the two branches of the same, and a knop under the two branches of the same, and a knop under the two branches of the same, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of it;

And bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft.

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

So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.

23 And he maketh its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure 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.

24 of a talent of pure gold he hath made it, and all its vessels.

The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.

25 And he maketh the perfume-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;

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.

26 and he overlayeth it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about, and its horns; and he maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;

And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate and the sides, and the horns.

27 and two rings of gold he hath made for it under its wreath, at its two corners, at its two sides, for places for staves to bear it with them.

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.

28 And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold;

And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold.

29 and he maketh the holy anointing oil, and the pure spice-perfume — work of a compounder.

He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.
