Exodus 37
37
1And Beseleel made also the ark of setim wood. It was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without.
2And he made to it a crown of gold round about,
3Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.
4And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,
5And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.
6He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold: two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth.
7Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory.
8One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,
9Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.
10He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit: and in height it was a cubit and a half.
11And he overlaid it with the finest gold: and he made to it a golden ledge round about.
12And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers' breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.
13And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,
14Over against the crown. And he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.
15And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood: and overlaid them with gold,
16And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered.
17He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. From the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out:
18Six on the two sides; three branches on one side, and three on the other.
19Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies; and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.
20And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut: and bowls withal at every one, and lilies.
21And bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft.
22So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.
23He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.
24The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.
25He made also the altar of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side four-square, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns.
26And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate and the sides, and the horns.
27And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side: that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried.
28And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood: and overlaid them with plates of gold.
29He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.

Exodus 37
37
Making the Ark of the Covenant
1And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits its length and a cubit and a half its width and a cubit and a half its height. 2And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and he made for it a gold molding all around. 3And he cast for it four gold rings on its four feet; and two rings were on its one side, and two rings were on its second side. 4And he made poles of acacia wood, and he overlaid them with gold. 5And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.
6And he made an atonement cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits its length and a cubit and a half its width. 7And he made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the atonement cover. 8One cherub was at one end,#Literally “from end from this” and one cherub was at the other end#Literally “from end from this” of the atonement cover; he made the cherubim at its two ends. 9And the cherubim were with outspread wings above, covering with their wings over the atonement cover and facing each other;#Literally “and their faces a man to his brother” the faces of the cherubim were toward the atonement cover.
Making the Table and the Lampstand
10And he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits its length and a cubit its width and a cubit and a half its height. 11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and he made for it a gold molding all around. 12And he made for it a handbreadth rim all around, and he made a gold molding for its rim all around. 13And he cast for it four gold rings, and he put the rings on the four corners where its four legs#Literally “feet” were. 14The rings were near the rim as holders#Literally “houses” for the poles to carry the table. 15And he made the poles of acacia wood, and he overlaid them with gold to carry the table. 16And he made the vessels that were on the table—its plates and its ladles,#Or “bowls” and its bowls and its pitchers with which libations were poured—of pure gold.
17And he made the lampstand of pure gold; he made the lampstand of hammered work—its base and its branch, its cups, its buds, and its blossoms were all part of it.#Literally “from it” 18And six branches were going out from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its second side. 19Three almond-flower cups were on the one branch with a bud and a blossom, and three almond-flower cups were on the one branch with a bud and a blossom—likewise for the six branches going out from the lampstand. 20And on the lampstand were four almond-flower cups, with its#Refers to the lampstand buds and its blossoms. 21And a bud was under the two branches that came from it, and a bud under the two branches from it, and a bud under the two branches from it, likewise for the six branches coming out from the lampstand. 22Their buds and their branches were from it, all of it one piece of pure gold, hammered work. 23And he made its seven lamps and its snuffers and its fire pans of pure gold. 24He made it from a talent of pure gold and all its pieces of equipment.
Making the Incense Altar and Anointing Oil
25And he made the incense altar of acacia wood, a cubit its length and a cubit its width—a square—and two cubits its height; its horns were of one piece with it.#Literally “from it” 26And he overlaid it with pure gold—its top and its sides all around and its horns—and he made for it a gold molding all around. 27And he made for it two gold rings under its molding on two opposite sides#Literally “on two of its sides on two of its sides” as holders#Literally “houses” for poles to carry it with them. 28And he made the poles of acacia wood, and he overlaid them with gold. 29And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure fragrant incense—work of a perfumer.
