1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half
cubits, and its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its
height. 2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a
molding of gold for it round about. 3 He cast four rings of gold for it,
in its four feet; even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other
side. 4 He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 5 He
put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits,
and a cubit and a half its breadth. 7 He made two cherubim of gold. He
made them of beaten work them, at the two ends of the mercy seat; 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. 9 The cherubim spread
out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their
faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy
seat.
10 He made the table of acacia wood. Its length was two cubits, and its
breadth was a cubit, and its height was a cubit and a half. 11 He overlaid
it with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. 12 He made a border
of a handbreadth around it, and made a golden molding on its border around
it. 13 He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four
corners that were on its four feet. 14 The rings were close by the border,
the places for the poles to carry the table. 15 He made the poles of
acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 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.
17 He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of beaten
work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were of one
piece with it. 18 There were six branches going out of its sides: three
branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the
lampstand out of its other side: 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 lampstand. 20 In the lampstand were four cups made like
almond-blossoms, its buds and its flowers; 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. 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 breadth 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.
