Exodus 37:1-29 AMPC

[1] Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood-two cubits and a half was the length of it, a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it. [2] He overlaid it with pure gold within and without and made a molding or crown of gold to go around the top of it. [3] He cast four rings of gold for its four corners, two rings on either side. [4] He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. [5] He put the poles through the rings at the sides of the ark to carry it. [6] [Bezalel] made the mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length and one cubit and a half its breadth. [7] And he made two cherubim of beaten gold; on the two ends of the mercy seat he made them, [8] One cherub at one end and one at the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim at its two ends. [9] And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces to each other, looking down to the mercy seat. [10] Bezalel made the [showbread] table of acacia wood; it was two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. [11] He overlaid it with pure gold and made a molding of gold around its top. [12] And he made a border around it [just under the top] a handbreadth wide, and a molding of gold around the border. [13] And he cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs. [14] Close to the border were the rings, the places for the poles to pass through to carry the [showbread] table. [15] [Bezalel] made the poles of acacia wood to carry the [showbread] table and overlaid them with gold. [16] He made of pure gold the vessels which were to be on the table, its plates and dishes [for bread], its bowls and flagons for pouring [liquid sacrifices]. [17] And he made the lampstand of pure gold; its base and shaft were made of hammered work; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers were of one piece with it. [18] There were six branches going out of the sides of the lampstand, three branches out of one side of it and three branches out of the other side of it; [19] Three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, each with a [calyx] knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the [opposite] branch, each with a [calyx] knob and a flower; and so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. [20] On [the shaft of] the lampstand were four cups made like almond blossoms, with knobs and flowers [one at the top]. [21] And a knob under each pair of branches, of one piece with the lampstand, for the six branches going out of it. [22] Their knobs and their branches were of one piece with it, all of it hammered work of pure gold. [23] And he made of pure gold its seven lamps, its snuffers, and its ashtrays. [24] Of a talent of pure gold he made the lampstand and all its utensils. [25] And [Bezalel] made the incense altar of acacia wood; its top was a cubit square and it was two cubits high; the horns were one piece with it. [26] He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, its sides round about, and its horns; also he made a rim around it of gold. [27] And he made two rings of gold for it under its rim, on its two opposite sides, as places for the poles [to pass through] to carry it. [28] And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. [29] He also made the holy anointing oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit] and the pure, fragrant incense, after the perfumer's art.
