Exodus 37
Making the Ark of the Testimony
37aAnd Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half 1cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; 2and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 3He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the 1other side of it. 4He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry 1it. 6He made a 1mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half 2cubits 3long and one and a half cubits 4wide. 7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work 1at the two ends of the mercy seat; 8one cherub 1at the one end and one cherub 2at the other end; from one piece he made the mercy seat with the cherubim 3at its two ends. 9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
Making the Table
10aThen he made the table of acacia wood, two 1cubits 2long and a cubit 3wide and one and a half cubits 4high. 11He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding for it all around. 12He made a rim for it of a handbreadth all around and made a gold molding for its rim all around. 13He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four feet. 14Close to the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table. 15He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 16He made the utensils which were on the table, its 1dishes and its pans and its offering bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.
Making the Lampstand
17aThen he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its 1bulbs, and its flowers were 2of the same piece. 18There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the 1other side of it; 19three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a 1bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a 2bulb and a flower in the other branch—so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 20In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 1bulbs and its flowers; 21and a 1bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 2bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 3bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 22Their 1bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold. 23He made its seven lamps with its tongs and its 1trays of pure gold. 24He made it and all its utensils from a 1talent of pure gold.
Making the Altar of Incense
25aThen he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit 1long and a cubit 2wide, square, and two cubits 3high; its horns were of one piece with it. 26He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its 1sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around. 27He made two golden rings for it under its molding, on its two sides—on opposite sides—as holders for poles with which to carry it. 28He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 29aAnd he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.
