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 they made ten curtains for the tabernacle;

2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold for it around 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 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 they made the veil of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, the woven work with cherubs.

4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them 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 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

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

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

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

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.

and their posts twenty, and their sockets twenty;

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

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

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

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

and their pillars three, and their sockets three.

13 He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that were on 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 close by the border, the places for the poles to carry the table.

all the curtains of the tabernacle of fine linen twined.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

23 He made 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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