¹ And Bezaleel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half long, and a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.² And he overlaid it with pure gold, inside and outside. And he made for it a wreath of gold all around.³ And he cast four rings of gold for it, on its four feet; two rings on its one side and two rings on its second side.⁴ And he made poles of acacia wood; and he overlaid them with gold.⁵ And he put the poles into the rings, on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark.⁶ And he made a mercyseat of pure gold; two cubits and a half long, and a cubit and a half wide.⁷ And he made two cherubs of gold; he made them of beaten work, from the two ends of the mercyseat;⁸ one cherub here at one end, and one cherub here at the other end. He made the cherubs from the mercyseat, from its two ends.⁹ And the cherubs were spreading out wings above, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, their faces each toward the other; the faces of the cherubs were toward the mercyseat.

¹⁰ And he made the table of planks of acacia; two cubits long, and a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.¹¹ And he overlaid it with pure gold; and he made for it a wreath of gold all around.¹² And he made for it a border of a hand's breadth all around. And he made a wreath of gold for its border all around.¹³ And he cast for it four rings of gold; and he put the rings on the four corners, which were to its four feet.¹⁴ The rings were near the border, the housings for the poles, to carry the table.¹⁵ And he made the poles of acacia wood; and he overlaid them with gold, to lift up the table.¹⁶ And he made the vessels which were on the table, its platters and its bowls, and its sacrificial cups, and its pitchers by which a drink offering is made, with pure gold.¹⁷ And he made the lampstand of pure gold; he made the lampstand of beaten work, its side, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs and its blossoms were from it.¹⁸ And six branches went out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from one side, and three branches of the lampstand from its second side.¹⁹ Three almond-like bowls were on the one branch, with knob and blossom; and three almond-like bowls on the one branch, with knob and blossom; so for the six branches, those going out from the lampstand.²⁰ And on the lampstand were four almond-like bowls, its knobs and its blossoms.²¹ And a knob was under two branches of it, to the six branches, those going out from it.²² The knobs and the branches of it were one beaten work of pure gold.²³ And he made its seven lamps and its snuffers and its pans of pure gold.²⁴ He made it and all its vessels from a talent of pure gold.

²⁵ And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood; its length a cubit, and its width a cubit, square. And its height was two cubits; its horns were of it.²⁶ And he overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its sides and its horns all around. And he made for it a wreath of gold all around.²⁷ And he made for it two rings of gold, from beneath its wreath, on its two corners, on its two sides, for housings for poles, to lift it.²⁸ And he made its poles of acacia wood; and he overlaid them with gold.²⁹ And he made the holy oil of anointing, and the pure incense of fragrant spices, the work of a perfumer.
