Exodus 37

Construction Continues

11Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half 2cubits, 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 3other 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 4it. 6He made a 5mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits 6long and one and a half cubits 7wide. 7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work 8at the two ends of the mercy seat; 8one cherub 9at the one end and one cherub 10at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat 11at the two ends. 9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the 12mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

1013Then he made the table of acacia wood, two 14cubits 15long and a cubit 16wide and one and a half cubits 17high. 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 by 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 18dishes and its pans and its 19bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.

1720Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its 21bulbs and its flowers were of one piece with it. 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 22other side of it; 19three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a 23bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a 24bulb and a flower in the other branch--so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. 20In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 25bulbs and its flowers; 21and a 26bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 27bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 28bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 22Their 29bulbs 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 snuffers and its 30trays of pure gold. 24He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.

2531Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit 32long and a cubit 33wide, square, and two cubits 34high; its horns were of one piece with it. 26He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its 35sides 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. 2936And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.
