Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood--two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
|
| 37:2 |
He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
|
| 37:3 |
He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other.
|
| 37:4 |
Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
|
| 37:5 |
And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
|
| 37:6 |
He made the atonement cover of pure gold--two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
|
| 37:7 |
Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
|
| 37:8 |
He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover.
|
| 37:9 |
The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
|
| 37:10 |
They made the table of acacia wood--two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
|
| 37:11 |
Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
|
| 37:12 |
They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
|
| 37:13 |
They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.
|
| 37:14 |
The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.
|
| 37:15 |
The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold.
|
| 37:16 |
And they made from pure gold the articles for the table--its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.
|
| 37:17 |
They made the lampstand of pure gold and hammered it out, base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms were of one piece with it.
|
| 37:18 |
Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand--three on one side and three on the other.
|
| 37:19 |
Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand.
|
| 37:20 |
And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.
|
| 37:21 |
One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair--six branches in all.
|
| 37:22 |
The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
|
| 37:23 |
They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold.
|
| 37:24 |
They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold.
|
| 37:25 |
They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high-- its horns of one piece with it.
|
| 37:26 |
They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.
|
| 37:27 |
They made two gold rings below the molding--two on opposite sides--to hold the poles used to carry it.
|
| 37:28 |
They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
|
| 37:29 |
They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense--the work of a perfumer.
