Exodus
Chapter 37
1 And Bezalel made the ark of acacia-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. 2 And he overlaid it with pure gold
within and without, and made a crown of
gold to it round about. 3 And he cast for
it four rings of gold, in the four feet
thereof: even two rings on the one side of
it, and two rings on the other side of it.
4 And he made staves of acacia-wood, and
overlaid them with gold. 5 And he put the
staves into the rings on the sides of the
ark, to bear the ark. 6 And he made an
ark-cover of pure gold: two cubits and a
half was the length thereof, and a cubit
and a half the breadth thereof. 7 And he
made two cherubim of gold: of beaten work
made he them, at the two ends of the
ark-cover: 8 one cherub at the one end,
and one cherub at the other end; of one
piece with the ark-cover made he the
cherubim at the two ends thereof. 9 And
the cherubim spread out their wings on
high, screening the ark-cover with their
wings, with their faces one to another;
toward the ark-cover were the faces of the
cherubim.
10 And he made the table of acacia-wood:
two cubits was the length thereof, and a
cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and
a half the height thereof. 11 And he
overlaid it with pure gold, and made
thereto a crown of gold round about. 12
And he made unto it a border of a
hand-breadth round about, and made a
golden crown to the border thereof round
about. 13 And he cast for it four rings of
gold, and put the rings in the four
corners that were on the four feet
thereof. 14 Close by the border were the
rings, the holders for the staves to bear
the table. 15 And he made the staves of
acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold,
to bear the table. 16 And he made the
vessels which were upon the table, the
dishes thereof, and the pans thereof, and
the bowls thereof, and the jars thereof,
wherewith to pour out, of pure gold.
17 And he made the candlestick of pure
gold: of beaten work made he the
candlestick, even its base, and its shaft;
its cups, its knops, and its flowers, were
of one piece with it. 18 And there were
six branches going out of the sides
thereof: three branches of the candlestick
out of the one side thereof, and three
branches of the candlestick out of the
other side thereof; 19 three cups made
like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop
and a flower; and three cups made like
almond-blossoms in the other branch, a
knop and a flower. So for the six branches
going out of the candlestick. 20 And in
the candlestick were four cups made like
almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and
the flowers thereof; 21 and a knop under
two branches of one piece with it, and a
knop under two branches of one piece with
it, and a knop under two branches of one
piece with it, for the six branches going
out of it. 22 Their knops and their
branches were of one piece with it; the
whole of it was one beaten work of pure
gold. 23 And he made the lamps thereof,
seven, and the tongs thereof, and the
snuffdishes thereof, of pure gold. 24 Of a
talent of pure gold made he it, and all
the vessels thereof.
25 And he made the altar of incense of
acacia-wood: a cubit was the length
thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof,
four-square; and two cubits was the height
thereof; the horns thereof were of one
piece with it. 26 And he overlaid it with
pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides
thereof round about, and the horns of it;
and he made unto it a crown of gold round
about. 27 And he made for it two golden
rings under the crown thereof, upon the
two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of
it, for holders for staves wherewith to
bear it. 28 And he made the staves of
acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and
the pure incense of sweet spices, after
the art of the perfumer.
