Exodus 37:1-29 CEV

[1] Bezalel built a chest of acacia wood forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. [2] He covered it inside and out with pure gold and put a gold edging around the top. [3] He made four gold rings and fastened one of them to each of the four legs of the chest. [4] Then he made two poles of acacia wood, covered them with gold, [5] and put them through the rings, so the chest could be carried by the poles. [6] The entire lid of the chest, which was also covered with pure gold, was the place of mercy. [7] On each of the two ends of the chest he made a winged creature of hammered gold. They faced each other, and their wings covered the place of mercy. [10] Bezalel built a table of acacia wood thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. [11] He covered it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it with a border three inches wide. [13] He made four gold rings and attached one to each of the legs [14] near the edging. The poles for carrying the table were placed through these rings [15] and were made of acacia wood covered with gold. [16] Everything that was to be set on the table was made of pure gold-the bowls, plates, jars, and cups for wine offerings. [17] Bezalel made a lampstand of pure gold. The whole lampstand, including its decorative flowers, was made from a single piece of hammered gold, [18] with three branches on each of its two sides. [19] There were three decorative almond blossoms on each branch [20] and four on the stem. [21] There was also a blossom where each pair of branches came out from the stem. [22] The lampstand, including its branches and decorative flowers, was made from a single piece of hammered pure gold. [23] The lamp and its equipment, including the tongs and trays, were made of about seventy-five pounds of pure gold. [25] For burning incense, Bezalel made an altar of acacia wood. It was eighteen inches square and thirty-six inches high with each of its four corners sticking up like the horn of a bull. [26] He covered it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it. [27] Then below the edging on opposite sides he attached two gold rings through which he put the poles for carrying the altar. [28] These poles were also made of acacia wood and covered with gold. [29] Bezalel mixed the oil for dedication and the sweet-smelling spices for the incense.
