1 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 And
he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to
it round about.
3 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 And
he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
gold.
5 And
he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 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 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 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 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 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 And
he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
12 Also
he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of
gold for the border thereof round about.
13 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 Over
against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
15 And
he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
gold, to bear the table.
16 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 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 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 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 And
in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his
knops, and his flowers:
21 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 Their
knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one
beaten work of pure
gold.
23 And
he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure
gold.
24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and
all the vessels thereof.
25 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 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 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 And
he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with
gold.
29 And
he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according
to the work of the apothecary.
