1And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;Select Exodus 37:1

2Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.Select Exodus 37:2

3And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,Select Exodus 37:3

4And rods of the same wood plated with gold.Select Exodus 37:4

5These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.Select Exodus 37:5

6And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.Select Exodus 37:6

7And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;Select Exodus 37:7

8Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.Select Exodus 37:8

9And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.Select Exodus 37:9

10And he made the table of hard wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high;Select Exodus 37:10

11Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.Select Exodus 37:11

12And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.Select Exodus 37:12

13And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet.Select Exodus 37:13

14The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.Select Exodus 37:14

15The rods for lifting the table he made of hard wood plated with gold.Select Exodus 37:15

16And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best gold.Select Exodus 37:16

17Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:Select Exodus 37:17

18It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from the other;Select Exodus 37:18

19Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;Select Exodus 37:19

20And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;Select Exodus 37:20

21And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.Select Exodus 37:21

22The buds and the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold.Select Exodus 37:22

23And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.Select Exodus 37:23

24A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.Select Exodus 37:24

25And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.Select Exodus 37:25

26The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.Select Exodus 37:26

27And he made two gold rings, placing them on the two opposite sides under the edge, to take the rods for lifting it.Select Exodus 37:27

28The rods he made of the same hard wood, plating them with gold.Select Exodus 37:28

29And he made the holy oil and the perfume of sweet spices for burning, after the art of the perfume-maker.Select Exodus 37:29
