Exodus 37
Reader-Friendly Bible: Purple Letter EditionKJP 

1And Bezalel made the Ark of acacia wood. It was two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half the high. 2And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and added a rim of gold all around it. 3And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be attached to its four corners; two rings on each side. 4And he made staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 5And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark. 6And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. 7And he made two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece of gold, for on the two ends of the mercy seat - 8One cherub on each end. 9And the cherubim spread their wings, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another – the cherubim facing toward the mercy seat.

10And he made the table of acacia wood: two cubits was its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half high. 11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and added a rim of gold around it. 12He also added a border, a handbreadth wide, to it all around; and made a rim of gold for its border all around. 13And he cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings on its four legs at the corners. 14The rings were mounted close to the rim, as places for the staves, used to carry the table. 15He made the staves to carry the table of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 16And he made the articles for on the table - its dishes, spoons, bowls, and its pitchers for pouring - out of pure gold.

17And he made the lampstand of pure gold: of beaten work; its shaft, its branches, cups, buds, and blossoms, were made from the same piece. 18And six branches extended from its sides; three branches on one side of the center shaft of the lampstand, and three branches on the opposite side. 19Three cups shaped like almond blossoms in each branch - a bud and a blossom; and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on another branch - a bud and a blossom: the same for all six branches extending from the center shaft of the lampstand. 20And the center stem of the lampstand was crafted with four lamp cups shaped like almond flowers, with buds, and blossoms - 21One bud was under the first pair of branches; and another bud under the next pair of branches; and another bud under the third pair of branches – all the same: a bud under each pair of branches extending out from it. 22Their buds and their branches were all the same: and all of it was of one piece of beaten work of pure gold. 23And he made its seven lamps, as well as its snuffers and snuff dishes, of pure gold. 24It was all made from a talent of pure gold.

25And he made the incense altar of acacia wood: both its length and width were a cubit, foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; and its horns were identical. 26And he overlaid it with pure gold - its top, sides, and its horns; he also added to it a rim of gold all around. 27And they made two rings of gold on each side, and attached them under its rim by its corners - on opposite sides, to hold the staves to carry it with. 28And they made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 29And they made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, blended by the work of the perfumer.
