Chapter 37

¹Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. ²He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. ³And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four corners, two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. ⁴He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ⁵And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark. ⁶He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. ⁷And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat, ⁸one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. ⁹The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim. ¹⁰He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. ¹¹He overlaid it with pure gold and made a molding of gold around it. ¹²And he made around it a frame a handbreadth wide and made a molding of gold around the frame. ¹³He cast for it four rings of gold and put the rings on the four corners at its four legs. ¹⁴Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table. ¹⁵He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold to carry the table. ¹⁶And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes, and its flagons and bowls with which to pour drink offerings. ¹⁷He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work: its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were of one piece with it. ¹⁸There were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it. ¹⁹Three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, were on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, were on the next branch; so for all six branches going out of the lampstand. ²⁰And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers, ²¹and a calyx of one piece with it under the first pair of branches, and a calyx of one piece with it under the second pair of branches, and a calyx of one piece with it under the third pair of branches; so for all six branches going out of the lampstand. ²²Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold. ²³He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers and its trays, of pure gold. ²⁴He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold. ²⁵He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit broad, and two cubits high. Its horns were of one piece with it. ²⁶He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, its sides all around, and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around it. ²⁷He made two rings of gold for it under its molding, on its two flanks—on opposite sides—as holders for poles with which to carry it. ²⁸He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ²⁹He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by a perfumer.
