Exodus 37

Ark, Table, Menorah, Incense Altar
1Bezalel also made the Ark from acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
2He overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a crown of gold for it all around.
3He cast four golden rings for it, in the four feet, two rings on the one side, and two on the other.
4He also made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5Then he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark.
6He made an atonement cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide.
7Then he forged two cheruvim of gold, from hammered work, at the two ends of the atonement cover,
8one cheruv at one end, and one cheruv at the other. He made the atonement cover from a single piece with the cheruvim on the two ends.
9So the cheruvim spread out their wings on high, overshadowing the atonement cover with their wings, with their faces to one another, and the faces of the cheruvim toward the atonement cover.
10Then he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11He overlaid it with pure gold and made a golden crown all around.
12Also he made a border for it, a hand-width around, and made a golden crown for the border all around.
13He cast four golden rings for it, and put the rings into the four corners that were on the four feet.
14The rings were close to the borders, as holders for the poles to carry the table.
15He also made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.
16He forged the articles that were on the table, the dishes, pans, bowls and jars, with which to pour, out of pure gold.
17Then he made the menorah of pure gold, of hammered work, even its base, its stem, its cups, its bulbs and its flowers, were one piece with it.
18There were six branches going out of the sides, three branches out of one side, and three branches out of the other.
19Three cups made like almond blossoms were in one branch, a bulb within a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the next branch, another bulb within a flower. It was just so for the six branches going out of the menorah.
20Also within the menorah were four cups made like almond blossoms, bulbs and flowers,
21with a bulb under two branches of one piece, a second bulb under two branches of another piece, and a bulb under two branches of a third piece, for six branches extending out of it.
22Their bulbs and their branches were one piece with it, an entire hammered work of pure gold.
23He also made the seven lamps, along with tongs and censers of pure gold.
24He made them from a talent of pure gold, along with all the pieces.
25He made the altar of incense from acacia wood, a cubit long, a cubit wide, squared, and two cubits high. The horns were one piece with it.
26Then he overlaid it with pure gold on top, on the sides all around and over its horns. Also he made a crown of gold for it all around.
27He made two golden rings for it underneath the crown, on two sides as holders for poles in order to carry it.
28He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29Then he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, the blend of a perfumer.

Exodus 37
37
1Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits,#37:1 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. and its width a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height. 2He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold for it around it. 3He cast four rings of gold for it in its four feet—two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side. 4He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 6He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit and a half its width. 7He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat: 8one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 9The cherubim spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
10He made the table of acacia wood. Its length was two cubits, and its width was a cubit, and its height was a cubit and a half. 11He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. 12He made a border of a hand’s width around it, and made a golden molding on its border around it. 13He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that were on its four feet. 14The rings were close by the border, the places for the poles to carry the table. 15He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 16He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, its spoons, its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out, of pure gold.
17He made the lamp stand of pure gold. He made the lamp stand of beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were of one piece with it. 18There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side: 19three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand. 20In the lamp stand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers; 21and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it. 22Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold. 23He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, of pure gold. 24He made it of a talent#37:24 A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds or 965 Troy ounces of pure gold, with all its vessels.
25He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. It was square: its length was a cubit, and its width a cubit. Its height was two cubits. Its horns were of one piece with it. 26He overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides around it, and its horns. He made a gold molding around it. 27He made two golden rings for it under its molding crown, on its two ribs, on its two sides, for places for poles with which to carry it. 28He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 29He made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.
