| Chapter 37 |
1 | And 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; |
2 | and he overlayeth it with pure gold within and without, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about; |
3 | and 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; |
4 | and he maketh staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold, |
5 | and he bringeth in the staves into the rings, by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. |
6 | And he maketh a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth; |
7 | and he maketh two cherubs of gold, of beaten work he hath made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; |
8 | one 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; |
9 | and 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. |
10 | And he maketh the table of shittim wood; two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height, |
11 | and overlayeth it with pure gold, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about. |
12 | And he maketh for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and maketh a wreath of gold for its border round about; |
13 | and he casteth for it four rings of gold, and putteth the rings on the four corners which [are] to its four feet; |
14 | over-against the border have the rings been, places for staves to bear the table. |
15 | And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold, to bear the table; |
16 | and 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. |
17 | And 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; |
18 | and 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; |
19 | three 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. |
20 | And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knops, and its flowers, |
21 | and 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; |
22 | their knops and their branches have been of the same; all of it one beaten work of pure gold. |
23 | And he maketh its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold; |
24 | of a talent of pure gold he hath made it, and all its vessels. |
25 | And 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; |
26 | and 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; |
27 | and 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. |
28 | And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold; |
29 | and he maketh the holy anointing oil, and the pure spice-perfume -- work of a compounder. |
