Exodus 37

Bezalel constructed the ark from acacia wood — two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half tall.

KJV 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:

He plated it with pure gold inside and out, and fashioned a gold molding around its rim.

KJV And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

He cast four gold rings for it, placing them at its four feet — two rings on one side and two on the other.

KJV 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.

He made carrying poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

KJV And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark for transporting it.

KJV And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

He made the mercy seat of pure gold — two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

KJV 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.

He fashioned two cherubim of hammered gold, forming them at the two ends of the mercy seat.

KJV And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

One cherub extended from one end and the other from the opposite end; he made the cherubim as a single piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.

KJV 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.

The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. They faced each other, with their faces turned down toward the mercy seat.

KJV 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.

He constructed the table from acacia wood — two cubits long, one cubit wide, and a cubit and a half tall.

KJV 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:

He overlaid it with pure gold and fashioned a gold molding around its rim.

KJV And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

He also made a rim a handbreadth wide around it and placed a gold molding along that rim.

KJV Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

He cast four gold rings for it and attached them at the four corners near its four legs.

KJV And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.

The rings were positioned close to the rim as holders for the poles used to carry the table.

KJV 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.

He constructed the lampstand of pure gold. He hammered it from a single piece — its base, shaft, cups, buds, and blossoms were all of one piece.

KJV 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:

Six branches extended from its sides — three branches from one side and three from the other.

KJV 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:

Three almond-shaped cups with buds and blossoms adorned one branch, and three almond-shaped cups with buds and blossoms on the next — the same pattern for all six branches extending from the lampstand.

KJV 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.

On the lampstand's central shaft were four almond-shaped cups with buds and blossoms.

KJV And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

A bud was positioned beneath each pair of branches — for all six branches extending from the lampstand.

KJV 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.

The buds and branches were all of one piece with it, the whole lampstand a single work of hammered pure gold.

KJV Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

He made its seven lamps, along with its wick trimmers and trays, all of pure gold.

KJV And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.

He used one talent of pure gold for the lampstand and all its accessories.

He constructed the incense altar from acacia wood — one cubit long, one cubit wide (it was square), and two cubits tall. Its horns were of one piece with it.

KJV 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.

He overlaid it with pure gold — its top, all its sides, and its horns — and made a gold molding around it.

KJV 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.

He made two gold rings beneath the molding on two opposite sides as holders for the poles used to carry it.
