1Then Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height.1And 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:
2He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it.2And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side of it.3And 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.
4He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.4And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.5And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6He also made the mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits was its length and a cubit and a half its width.6And 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.
7He made two cherubim of beaten gold; he made them of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat:7And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
8one cherub at one end on this side, and the other cherub at the other end on that side. He made the cherubim at the two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.8One 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.
9The cherubim spread out their wings above, and covered the mercy seat with their wings. They faced one another; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.9And 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.
10He made the table of acacia wood; two cubits was its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height.10And 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:
11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold all around it.11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
12Also he made a frame of a handbreadth all around it, and made a molding of gold for the frame all around it.12Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs.13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
14The rings were close to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table.14Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
15And he made the poles of acacia wood to bear the table, and overlaid them with gold.15And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16He made of pure gold the utensils which were on the table: its dishes, its cups, its bowls, and its pitchers for pouring.16And 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.
17He also made the lampstand of pure gold; of hammered work he made the lampstand. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and its flowers were of the same piece.17And 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:
18And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side.18And 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:
19There were three bowls made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower—and so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.19Three 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.
20And on the lampstand itself were four bowls made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower.20And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
21There was a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches extending from it.21And 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.
22Their knobs and their branches were of one piece; all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold.22Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
23And he made its seven lamps, its wick-trimmers, and its trays of pure gold.23And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
24Of a talent of pure gold he made it, with all its utensils.24Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
25He made the incense altar of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit and its width a cubit—it was square—and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it.25And 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.
26And he overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides all around, and its horns. He also made for it a molding of gold all around it.26And 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.
27He made two rings of gold for it under its molding, by its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to bear it.27And 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.
28And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.28And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer.29And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
