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