CHAPTER 37

1
Bezalel went on
to make
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
all around it.
3
And he cast
four
gold
rings
for
its four
feet,
two
on
one
side
and two
on
the other.
4
Then he made
poles
of acacia
wood
and overlaid
them with gold.
5
He inserted
the poles
into the rings
on
the sides
of the ark
for carrying
it.
6
He constructed
a mercy seat
of pure
gold,
two
and a half cubits
long
and a cubit
and a half
wide.
7
He made
two
cherubim
of hammered
of gold
at the
ends
of the mercy seat,
8
one
cherub
on
one
end
of the mercy seat
and one
on the other,
all made
from one piece.
9
And the cherubim
had wings
that spread
upward.
They faced
each
other
and overshadowed
the mercy seat
with their wings,
their faces
looking toward
the mercy seat.
10
He made
the table
of acacia
wood,
two cubits
long,
a cubit
wide,
and a cubit
and a half
high.
11
He overlaid
it
with pure
gold
and made
a gold
molding
all around it.
12
He also made
a rim
around
it
a handbreadth wide
and put
a gold
molding
on
the rim.
13
He cast
four
gold
rings
for the table
and fastened
them
to
the four
corners
at its four
legs.
14
The rings
were placed
next to
the frame
as holders
for the poles
used to carry
the table.
15
He made
the poles
of acacia
wood
for carrying
the table
and overlaid
them with gold.
16
He also made
the utensils
for
the table
out of pure
gold:
its plates
and dishes,
as well as its bowls
and pitchers
for pouring drink offerings.
17
Then he made
the lampstand
out of pure
hammered
gold,
all of one piece:
its base
and shaft,
its ornamental cups,
and its buds
and petals.
18
Six
branches
extended
from the sides,
three
on one
side
and three
on the other.
19
There were three
cups
shaped like almond blossoms
on the first
branch,
each with buds
and petals,
three
on the next
branch,
and the same
for all six
branches
that extended
from
the lampstand.
20
On the lampstand
were four
cups
shaped like almond flowers
with buds
and petals.
21
A bud
was under
the first pair
of branches
that extended
from the lampstand,
a bud
under
the second pair,
and a bud
under
the third pair.
22
The buds
and branches
were
all
of one piece with the lampstand,
which was a single
hammered
piece of pure
gold.
23
He also made
its seven
lamps,
its wick trimmers,
and trays
of pure
gold.
24
He made
the lampstand
and all
its utensils
from a talent
of pure
gold.
25
He made
the altar
of incense
out of acacia
wood.
It was square,
a cubit
long,
a cubit
wide,
and two cubits
high.
Its horns
were
of one piece.
26
And he overlaid
it
with pure
gold,
its top
and
its sides
all around,
and its horns.
Then he made
a gold
molding
all around it.
27
He made
two
gold
rings
below
the molding
on
opposite sides
to hold
the poles
used to carry
it.
28
And he made
the poles
of acacia
wood
and overlaid
them with gold.
29
He also made
the sacred
anointing
oil
and the pure,
fragrant
incense,
the work of a perfumer.
