aNow Bezalel made
the ark
of acacia
wood
; its length
was two and a half
1cubits
, and its width
one and a half
cubits
, and its height
one and a half
cubits
;
and he overlaid it with pure
gold
inside
and out, and made
a gold
molding
for it all
around
.
He cast four
rings
of gold
for it on its four
feet
; even two
rings
on one
side
of it, and two
rings
on the 1other
side
of it.
He made poles
of acacia
wood
and overlaid
them with gold
.
He put the poles
into the rings
on the sides
of the ark
, to carry
1it.
He made a 1mercy
seat
of pure
gold
, two and a half
cubits
2long
and one and a half
cubits
3wide
.
He made two
cherubim
of gold
; he made
them of hammered
work
1at the two
ends
of the mercy
seat
;
one cherub
1at the one
end
and one
cherub
1at the other
end
; he made
the cherubim
of one piece with the mercy
seat
1at the two
ends
.
The cherubim had
their wings
spread
upward
, covering
the 1mercy
seat
with their wings
, with their faces
toward
each
other
; the faces
of the cherubim
were toward
the mercy
seat
.
aThen he made the table
of acacia
wood
, two 1cubits
2long
and a cubit
3wide
and one and a half
cubits
4high
.
He overlaid it with pure
gold
, and made
a gold
molding
for it all
around
.
He made a rim
for it of a handbreadth
all
around
, and made
a gold
molding
for its rim
all
around
.
He cast four
gold
rings
for it and put
the rings
on the four
corners
that were on its four
feet
.
Close by the rim
were the rings
, the holders
for the poles
to carry
the table
.
He made the poles
of acacia
wood
and overlaid
them with gold
, to carry
the table
.
He made the utensils
which
were on the table
, its 1dishes
and its pans
and its 2bowls
and its jars
, with which
to pour
out drink
offerings
, of pure
gold
.
aThen he made the lampstand
of pure
gold
. He made
the lampstand
of hammered
work
, its base
and its shaft
; its cups
, its 1bulbs
and its flowers
were of one piece with it.
There were six branches
going
out of its sides
; three
branches
of the lampstand
from the one
side
of it and three
branches
of the lampstand
from the 1other
side
of it;
three cups
shaped
like
almond
blossoms, a 1bulb
and a flower
in one
branch
, and three
cups
shaped
like
almond
blossoms, a 1bulb
and a flower
in the other
branch
--so
for the six
branches
going
out of the lampstand
.
In the lampstand there were four
cups
shaped
like
almond
blossoms, its 1bulbs
and its flowers
;
and a 1bulb was under
the first pair
of branches
coming out of it, and a 1bulb
under
the second pair
of branches
coming out of it, and a 1bulb
under
the third pair
of branches
coming out of it, for the six
branches
coming
out of the lampstand.
Their 1bulbs and their branches
were of one piece with it; the whole
of it was a single
hammered
work
of pure
gold
.
He made its seven
lamps
with its snuffers
and its 1trays
of pure
gold
.
He made it and all
its utensils
from a talent
of pure
gold
.
aThen he made the altar
of incense
of acacia
wood
: a cubit
1long
and a cubit
2wide
, square
, and two cubits
3high
; its horns
were of one piece with it.
He overlaid it with pure
gold
, its top
and its 1sides
all
around
, and its horns
; and he made
a gold
molding
for it all
around
.
He made two
golden
rings
for it under
its molding
, on its two
sides
--on opposite
sides
--as holders
for poles
with which
to carry
it.
He made the poles
of acacia
wood
and overlaid
them with gold
.
aAnd he made the holy
anointing
oil
and the pure
, fragrant
incense
of spices
, the work
of a perfumer
.
