Exodus 37

1 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:

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 overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold for it all around.

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

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by its four corners; even two rings upon its one side, and two rings upon its other side

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

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

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

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

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 made two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece he made them, on 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 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 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 cherubim spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.

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

10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was 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 he overlaid it with pure gold, and made for it a crown of gold all around.

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

12 Also he made for it a border of an handbreadth all around; and made a crown of gold for its border all around.

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

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

14 Close to the border were the rings, the places for the staffs to bear the table.

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

15 And he made the staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid 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 made the vessels which were upon the table, its dishes, and its spoons, and its bowls, and its covers to cover with, 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 made the lampstand of pure gold: of beaten work he made the lampstand; its shaft, and its branch, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers, were 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 proceeding from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand from its other side:

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

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

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 lampstand were four bowls made like almonds, its knobs, 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 knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.

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

22 Their knobs and their branches were of the same: all of it was 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 made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuffdishes, 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 made it, and all its vessels.

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

25 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 of it were 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 overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and its sides all around, and its horns: also he made for it a crown of gold all around.

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

27 And he made two rings of gold for it under its crown, by its two corners, upon its two sides, to be places for the staffs to bear it with.

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 made the staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

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

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

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