And 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:
2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within
and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3 And 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.
4 And he made staves of shittim
wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5 And he put the staves into the rings
by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 And 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.
7 And he made two cherubims of
gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy
seat;
8 One 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.
9 And 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.
10 And he made the table of
shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the
breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:
11 And he overlaid it with pure gold,
and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
12 Also he made thereunto a border of
an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof
round about.
13 And he cast for it four rings of
gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four
feet thereof.
14 Over against the border were the
rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
15 And he made the staves of
shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16 And he made the vessels which were
upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to
cover withal, of pure gold.
17 And 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:
18 And 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:
19 Three 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.
20 And in the candlestick were
four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
21 And 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.
22 Their knops and their branches were
of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
23 And he made his seven lamps, and his
snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
24 Of a talent of pure gold made
he it, and all the vessels thereof.
25 And he made the incense altar of
shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a
cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it;
the horns thereof were of the same.
26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both
the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also
he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
27 And he made two rings of gold for it
under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides
thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.
28 And he made the staves of
shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the holy anointing oil,
and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the
apothecary.
