1And Bezaleel makes 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 overlays it with pure gold inside and outside, and makes a wreath of gold for it all around;
3and he casts four rings of gold for it on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
4and he makes poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold,
5and he brings in the poles into the rings, by the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark.
6And he makes a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;
7and he makes two cherubim of gold; he has made them of beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering—
8one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; he has made the cherubim from [above] the propitiatory covering, at its two ends;
9and the cherubim are spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another; the faces of the cherubim have been toward the propitiatory covering. 10And he makes the table of shittim wood; two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height, 11and overlays it with pure gold, and makes a wreath of gold for it all around. 12And he makes a border for it of a handbreadth around, and makes a wreath of gold around for its border; 13and he casts four rings of gold for it, and puts the rings on the four corners which [are] at its four feet; 14the rings have been close by the border, places for poles to carry the table. 15And he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold, to carry the table; 16and he makes the vessels which [are] on the table, its dishes, and its bowls, and its cups, and the cups by which they pour out, of pure gold. 17And he makes the lampstand of pure gold; he has made the lampstand of beaten work, its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers, have been of the same; 18and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its second side; 19three calyxes, made like almonds, in one branch, a knob and a flower; and three calyxes, made like almonds, in another branch, a knob and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand. 20And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers, 21and a knob under the two branches of the same, and a knob under the two branches of the same, and a knob under the two branches of the same, [are] for the six branches which are coming out of it; 22their knobs and their branches have been of the same; all of it one beaten work of pure gold. 23And he makes its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold; 24he has made it of a talent of pure gold, and with all its vessels. 25And he makes the incense-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 overlays it with pure gold, around its top and its sides, and its horns; and he makes a wreath of gold for it all around; 27and he has made two rings of gold for it under its wreath, at its two corners, at its two sides, for places for poles to carry it with them. 28And he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold; 29and he makes the holy anointing oil, and the pure spice-incense—work of a compounder. |
