1Bezalel made the ark out of acacia wood 45 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches high. 2He covered it with pure gold inside and out and put a gold molding around it. 3He cast four gold rings for its four feet, two rings on each side. 4Then he made poles out of acacia wood and covered them with gold. 5He put them through the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it. 6He made the throne of mercy out of pure gold 45 inches long and 27 inches wide. 7Then he made two angels out of hammered gold for the two ends of the throne of mercy, 8one on each end. He formed the angels and the throne of mercy out of one piece [of gold]. 9The angels had their wings spread above the throne of mercy, overshadowing it. They faced each other, looking at the throne of mercy.

10He made the table out of acacia wood 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high. 11He covered it with pure gold and put a gold molding around it. 12He made a rim 3 inches wide around it and put a gold molding around the rim. 13He cast four gold rings for it and fastened the rings to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles for carrying the table. 15These poles were made out of acacia wood and were covered with gold. 16For the table he made plates, dishes, bowls, and pitchers to be used for pouring wine offerings. All of them were made out of pure gold.

17He made the lamp stand out of pure gold. The lamp stand, its base, and its shaft, as well as the flower cups, buds, and petals were hammered out of one piece [of gold]. 18Six branches came out of its sides, three branches on one side and three on the other. 19Each of the six branches coming out of the lamp stand had three flower cups shaped like almond blossoms, with buds and petals. 20The lamp stand itself had four flower cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals. 21There was a bud under each of the three pairs of branches coming out of the lamp stand. 22The buds and branches were hammered out of the same piece of pure gold as the lamp stand. 23He made the seven lamps, the tongs, and the incense burners out of pure gold. 24The lamp stand and all the utensils were made out of 75 pounds of pure gold.

25He made an altar out of acacia wood for burning incense. It was 18 inches square and 36 inches high. The horns and altar were made out of one piece [of wood]. 26He covered all of it with pure gold-the top, the sides, and the horns-and he put a gold molding around it. 27He made two gold rings and put them below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles for carrying it. 28He made the poles out of acacia wood and covered them with gold. 29He also had a perfumer make the holy oil to be used for anointing and for the pure, sweet-smelling incense.
