1And Bezaleel made the ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half long, and a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. 2And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a crown molding of gold around the top edges of it. 3And he cast four rings of gold for it, for the corners of it, even two rings on the one side of it and two rings on the other side of it. 4And he made staves of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark in order to carry the ark. 6And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half long, and one cubit and a half wide. 7And he made two cherubim of gold on the two ends of the mercy seat. He made them of beaten work, 8One cherub at one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim at the two ends of the mercy seat. 9And the cherubim were spreading out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces each toward the other. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat. 10And he made the table of acacia wood: two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. 11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made for it a crown molding of gold all around. 12Also he made for it a border all around of a hand's breadth. And he made a crown molding of gold for the border of it all around. 13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were in the four legs of it. 14The rings were near the border, the housings for the staves to carry the table. 15And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 16And he made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes and its spoons, and its bowls, and its pitchers by which a drink offering is made, of pure gold. 17And he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of beaten work; its shaft and its branch, its cups, its knobs, and its blossoms, were of the same. 18And six branches went out of the sides of it: three branches of the lampstand out of the one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it. 19Three almond-like cups were on the one branch, a knob and a blossom; and three almond-like cups on the other branch, a knob and a blossom--so throughout the six branches going out of the lampstand. 20And on the lampstand were four almond- like cups, its knobs and its blossoms. 21And a knob was under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, to the six branches going out of it. 22Their knobs and their branches were of the same; all of it was one beaten work of pure gold. 23And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes of pure gold. 24He made it of a talent of pure gold, and all the vessels of it. 25And he made the incense altar of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit, and its breadth a cubit, square. And its height was two cubits. Its horns were of one piece. 26And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top of it and the sides of it all around, and the horns of it. Also, he made for it a crown molding of gold all around the top edge. 27And he made two rings of gold for it beneath the crown molding of it, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides of it, to be places for the staves to bear it with. 28And he made the staves of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 29And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, the work of the perfumer.
