1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits, its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits.

And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and out and made a gold molding to surround it.

And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

3 He cast four gold rings for it and placed them on its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.

And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

5 He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

6 He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

7 He made two cherubim of gold; they were hammered out of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat.

And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

8 One cherub was at one end, and the other cherub was at the other end. The cherubim extended from the mercy seat itself on its two ends.

One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings. Their faces were turned toward one another, looking toward the mercy seat.

And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

10 He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and one and a half cubits high.

And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:

11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.

And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

12 He made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and added a gold molding to the rim.

Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

13 He cast four gold rings for the table and attached the rings to the four corners of its legs.

And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.

14 The rings were placed near the frame as holders for the poles used to carry the table.

Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

15 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold to carry the table.

And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

16 He made the utensils for the table out of pure gold: its plates, its utensils, its bowls, and its pitchers for pouring drink offerings.

And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.

17 He made the lampstand of pure gold; it was hammered out, including its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers, all made as one piece.

And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:

18 Six branches extended from its sides: three branches of the lampstand on one side and three branches on the other.

And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:

19 Each branch had three cups shaped like almond blossoms, with a bud and a flower; this was true of all six branches extending from the lampstand.

Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.

20 The lampstand itself had four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with its buds and its flowers.

And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

21 There was a bud under each pair of the six branches extending from the lampstand.

And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.

22 The buds and branches were all one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.

Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

23 He made its seven lamps, its wick trimmers, and its trays of pure gold.

And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.

24 He made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold.

Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.

25 He made the altar of incense from acacia wood. Its length was a cubit, its width a cubit—it was square—and its height was two cubits. Its horns were of one piece with it.

And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.

26 He overlaid it with pure gold—its top, its sides all around, and its horns—and he made a gold molding to surround it.

And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.

27 He made two gold rings for it below the molding on its two sides, on opposite sides, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry it.

And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.

28 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
