Exodus 37

1 And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;

And they made ten curtains for the tabernacle;

2 Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.

of eight and twenty cubits the length of one curtain: the same [measure] was to all, and the breadth of one curtain was of four cubits.

3 And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,

And they made the veil of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, the woven work with cherubs.

4 And rods of the same wood plated with gold.

And they put it on four posts of incorruptible [wood] overlaid with gold; and their chapiters were gold, and their four sockets were silver.

5 These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

And they made the veil of the door of the tabernacle of witness of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, woven work with cherubs,

6 And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

and their posts five, and the rings; and they gilded their chapiters and their clasps with gold, and they had five sockets of brass.

7 And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;

And they made the court towards the south; the curtains of the court of fine linen twined, a hundred [cubits] every way,

8 Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.

and their posts twenty, and their sockets twenty;

9 And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.

and on the north side a hundred every way, and on the south side a hundred every way, and their posts twenty and their sockets twenty.

10 And he made the table of hard wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high;

And on the west side curtains of fifty cubits, their posts ten and their sockets ten.

11 Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.

And on the east side curtains of fifty cubits of fifteen cubits behind,

12 And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.

and their pillars three, and their sockets three.

13 And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet.

And at the second back on this side and on that by the gate of the court, curtains of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three;

14 The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.

all the curtains of the tabernacle of fine linen twined.

15 The rods for lifting the table he made of hard wood plated with gold.

And the sockets of their pillars of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their chapiters overlaid with silver, and all the posts of the court overlaid with silver:

16 And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best gold.

and the veil of the gate of the court, the work of an embroiderer of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined; the length of twenty cubits, and the height and the breadth of five cubits, made equal to the curtains of the court;

17 Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:

and their pillars four, and their sockets four of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their chapiters overlaid with silver.

18 It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from the other;

And all the pins of the court round about of brass, and they [were] overlaid with silver.

19 Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;

And this was the construction of the tabernacle of witness, accordingly as it was appointed to Moses; so that the public service should belong to the Levites, through Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

20 And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;

And Beseleel the son of Urias of the tribe of Juda, did as the Lord commanded Moses.

21 And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.

And Eliab the son of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan [was there], who was chief artificer in the woven works and needle-works and embroideries, in weaving with the scarlet and fine linen.

22 The buds and the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold.

23 And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.

24 A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.

25 And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.

26 The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.

27 And he made two gold rings, placing them on the two opposite sides under the edge, to take the rods for lifting it.

28 The rods he made of the same hard wood, plating them with gold.

29 And he made the holy oil and the perfume of sweet spices for burning, after the art of the perfume-maker.
