1 And Beseleel made also the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without. 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 he made to it a crown of gold round about, 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 rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in 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 And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid 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 put them into the rings that 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 made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth. 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 Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on 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 in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends 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 covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it. 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 made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half. 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 overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about. 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 to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers' breadth, and upon the same another golden crown. 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 rings of gold, which he put in 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 Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might 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 And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid 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 the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to 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 made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. From the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out: 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 cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies; and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches that went out from the shaft of the candlestick 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 And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every 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 bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft. 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 So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of 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 made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest 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 candlestick with all the vessels thereof 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 made also the altar of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out 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 overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate and 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 he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar 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 And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates 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 compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work 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.
