1 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 He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. |
3 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 Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. |
5 And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it. |
6 He made the atonement cover of pure gold--two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. |
7 Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. |
8 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 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover. |
10 They made the table of acacia wood--two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. |
11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it. |
12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim. |
13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. |
14 The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. |
15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. |
16 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 They made the lampstand of pure gold and hammered it out, base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms were of one piece with it. |
18 Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand--three on one side and three on the other. |
19 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 on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. |
21 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 The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. |
23 They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. |
24 They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold. |
25 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 They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. |
27 They made two gold rings below the molding--two on opposite sides--to hold the poles used to carry it. |
28 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. |
29 They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense--the work of a perfumer. |
