Exodus 37:1-16 ▼

1 And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.

2 And he overlaid it with pure gold—from within and from without—and he made for it a molding of gold all around.

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold on its four feet, and two rings on the one side and two rings on the second side.

4 And He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

5 And he brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark.

6 And He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its width.

7 And He made two cherubim of gold—of hammered work he made them—from the two ends of the mercy seat,

8 one cherub from this end, and one cherub from that end; from the mercy seat he made the cherubim from its two ends.

9 And the cherubim spread out the wings upward, covering over the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces each toward his brother; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.

10 And He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height.

11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and he made for it a molding of gold all around.

12 And he made for it a frame of a handbreadth all around, and he made a gold molding for its frame all around.

13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and he put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs.

14 Close to the frame were the rings as holders for the poles, to carry the table.

15 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.

16 And He made the vessels which were on the table—its dishes, and its pans, and its bowls, and the pitchers with which to pour out—with pure gold.
