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