“1 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.” (Ex 37:1-29 AV)
