Exodus 37

₁Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. ₂And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. ₃And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. ₄And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold ₅and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark. ₆And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. ₇And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat, ₈one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. ₉The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.

₁₀He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. ₁₁And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it. ₁₂And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim. ₁₃He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs. ₁₄Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table. ₁₅He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold. ₁₆And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour drink offerings.

₁₇He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work. Its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were of one piece with it. ₁₈And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it; ₁₉three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. ₂₀And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers, ₂₁and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it. ₂₂Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold. ₂₃And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold. ₂₄He made it and all its utensils out of a talent of pure gold.

₂₅He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit, and its breadth was a cubit. It was square, and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it. ₂₆He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around it, ₂₇and made two rings of gold on it under its molding, on two opposite sides of it, as holders for the poles with which to carry it. ₂₈And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

₂₉He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer.
