Exodus 37
37
1And Bezaleel maketh the ark of shittim wood, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;
2and he overlayeth it with pure gold within and without, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;
3and he casteth for it four rings of gold, on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
4and he maketh staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold,
5and he bringeth in the staves into the rings, by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6And he maketh a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;
7and he maketh two cherubs of gold, of beaten work he hath made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;
8one cherub at the end on this [side], and one cherub at the end on that, out of the mercy-seat he hath made the cherubs, at its two ends;
9and the cherubs are spreading out wings on high, covering over the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another; towards the mercy-seat have the faces of the cherubs been.
10And he maketh the table of shittim wood; two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,
11and overlayeth it with pure gold, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about.
12And he maketh for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and maketh a wreath of gold for its border round about;
13and he casteth for it four rings of gold, and putteth the rings on the four corners which [are] to its four feet;
14over-against the border have the rings been, places for staves to bear the table.
15And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold, to bear the table;
16and he maketh the vessels which [are] upon the table, its dishes, and its bowls, and its cups, and the cups by which they pour out, of pure gold.
17And he maketh the candlestick of pure gold; of beaten work he hath made the candlestick, its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers, have been of the same;
18and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of its one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of its second side;
19three calyxes, made like almonds, in the one branch, a knop and a flower; and three calyxes, made like almonds, in another branch, a knop and a flower; so to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick.
20And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knops, and its flowers,
21and a knop under the two branches of the same, and a knop under the two branches of the same, and a knop under the two branches of the same, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of it;
22their knops and their branches have been of the same; all of it one beaten work of pure gold.
23And he maketh its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold;
24of a talent of pure gold he hath made it, and all its vessels.
25And he maketh the perfume-altar of shittim wood; a cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth (square), and two cubits its height; its horns have been of the same;
26and he overlayeth it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about, and its horns; and he maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;
27and two rings of gold he hath made for it under its wreath, at its two corners, at its two sides, for places for staves to bear it with them.
28And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold;
29and he maketh the holy anointing oil, and the pure spice-perfume — work of a compounder.

The ark
1Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood – two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.#37:1 That is, about 1.1 metres long and 68 centimetres wide and high; similarly in verse 6 2He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold moulding around it. 3He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. 4Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
6He made the atonement cover of pure gold – two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 7Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 8He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. 9The cherubim had their wings spread upwards, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking towards the cover.
The table
10They#37:10 Or He; also in verses 11-29 made the table of acacia wood – two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.#37:10 That is, about 90 centimetres long, 45 centimetres wide and 68 centimetres high 11Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold moulding around it. 12They also made around it a rim a handbreadth#37:12 That is, about 7.5 centimetres wide and put a gold moulding on the rim. 13They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16And they made from pure gold the articles for the table – its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.
The lampstand
17They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 18Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand – three on one side and three on the other. 19Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 20And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 21One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair – six branches in all. 22The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
23They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. 24They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent#37:24 That is, about 34 kilograms of pure gold.
The altar of incense
25They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high#37:25 That is, about 45 centimetres long and wide and 90 centimetres high – its horns of one piece with it. 26They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold moulding around it. 27They made two gold rings below the moulding – two on each of the opposite sides – to hold the poles used to carry it. 28They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
29They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense – the work of a perfumer.
