1Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood two and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one and a half cubits high.

1And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

2He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and outside, and made a gold molding around it.

2And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

3He cast four rings for it on its four feet, two rings on one side of it and two rings on its other side.

3And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

4He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

4And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

5And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

6He made a Mercy Seat of pure gold two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

6And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the Mercy Seat.

7And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

8One cherub was at one end and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim at the two ends of the Mercy Seat and of one piece with it.

8One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the Mercy Seat with their wings and facing each other. The faces of the cherubim were turned toward the Mercy Seat.

9And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

13He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners where its four feet were.

13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.

14The rings were close to the rim as holders for the poles to carry the table.

14Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

17And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:

18Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lamp stand from one side of it, and three branches of the lamp stand from its other side.

18And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:

19Three cups shaped like almond blossoms with calyxes and flowers were on one branch and three cups shaped like almond blossoms with calyxes and flowers were on the other branch, and so on for the six branches extending from the lamp stand.

19Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.

20On the lamp stand itself there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms each with their calyxes and flowers.

20And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

21A calyx was under the two branches that extended out of the stem; a calyx was under the next pair of branches that extended out of the stem; and a calyx was under the last pair of branches that extended out of the stem, and so on for the six branches extending from the lamp stand.

21And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.

22Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it, all of it was of one piece of hammered work of pure gold.
