1 Now Bezalel also made the ark from setim wood, having two and one half cubits in length, and one and one half cubits in width, and the height was also one and one half cubits. And he clothed it with the purest gold, inside and out. Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 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.
2 And for it he made a crown of gold all around, And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
3 casting four gold rings at its four corners: two rings on one side, and two on the other. And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. 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.
4 Likewise, he made bars from setim wood, which he clothed with gold, And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
5 and he placed them into the rings, which were at the sides of the ark, to carry it. and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark. And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
6 He also made the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, from the finest gold, two and one half cubits in length, and one and one half cubits in width, And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. He made the atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
7 and then two Cherubim of ductile gold, which he positioned at the two sides of the propitiatory: And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat, Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
8 one Cherub at the top of one side, and the other Cherub at the top of the other side. The two Cherubim were at each end of the propitiatory, one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. 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.
9 spreading their wings, and protecting the propitiatory, and gazing toward it and toward one another. The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
10 He also made the table from setim wood, with a length of two cubits, and a width of one cubit, which had a height of one and one half cubits. He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. They made the table of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.
11 And he surrounded it with the finest gold, and for it he made a ledge of gold all around, And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it. Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
12 and for the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, four fingers high, and upon the same, another crown of gold. And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim. They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
13 And he cast four gold rings, which he set at the four corners at each foot of the table, He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs. They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.
14 opposite the crown. And he placed the bars into them, so that the table could be carried. Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table. The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.
15 Likewise, the bars themselves he made from setim wood, and he surrounded them with gold. He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold. The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold.
16 And he made vessels for the diverse uses of the table, as well as the little cups, and bowls, and measuring cups, and the censers, from pure gold, in which the libations would be offered. And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour drink offerings. 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.
17 He also made the lampstand, formed from the finest gold. The branches, bowls, and little spheres, as well as the lilies, proceeded from its bar: He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work. Its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were of one piece with it. They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them.
18 six on the two sides, three branches on one side, and three on the other. And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it; Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other.
19 Three bowls, the size of a nut, were on each branch, with little spheres and lilies, and three bowls, in the likeness of a nut, were on the other branch, with the little spheres together with the lilies. The workmanship of the six branches, which proceeded from the shaft of the lampstand, was equal. three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. 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.
20 Now on the shaft itself were four bowls, the size of a nut, and little spheres together with each one, and lilies, And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers, And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.
21 and little spheres under two branches in three places, which together made six branches proceeding from one bar. and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it. 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.
22 Thus, both the little spheres and the branches were from the same thing: all hand-worked from the purest gold. Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold. The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
23 He also made the seven lamps with their candle snuffers, and the vessels where the candles would be extinguished, from the finest gold. And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold. They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold.
24 The lampstand with all its vessels weighed a talent of gold. He made it and all its utensils out of a talent of pure gold. They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold.
25 He also made the altar of incense from setim wood, having one cubit on each of four sides, and in height, two. From its corners proceeded horns. He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit, and its breadth was a cubit. It was square, and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it. 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.
26 And he clothed it with the purest gold, with its grating, as well as the sides and the horns. He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around it, They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.
27 And for it he made a crown of gold all around, and two gold rings under the crown at each side, so that the bars might be put into them, and the altar could be carried. and made two rings of gold on it under its molding, on two opposite sides of it, as holders for the poles with which to carry it. They made two gold rings below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it.
28 Now the bars themselves he also made from setim wood, and he covered them with layers of gold. And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
29 He also composed the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and the incense, from the purest aromatics, with the skill of a perfumer. He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer. They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense—the work of a perfumer.
