¹ And Bezaleel makes 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 overlays it with pure gold inside and outside, and makes a wreath of gold for it all around;³ and he casts four rings of gold for it on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;⁴ and he makes poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold,⁵ and he brings in the poles into the rings, by the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark.⁶ And he makes a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;⁷ and he makes two cherubim of gold; he has made them of beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering—⁸ one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; he has made the cherubim from [above] the propitiatory covering, at its two ends;⁹ and the cherubim are spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another; the faces of the cherubim have been toward the propitiatory covering.

¹⁰ And he makes the table of shittim wood; two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,¹¹ and overlays it with pure gold, and makes a wreath of gold for it all around.¹² And he makes a border for it of a handbreadth around, and makes a wreath of gold around for its border;¹³ and he casts four rings of gold for it, and puts the rings on the four corners which [are] at its four feet;¹⁴ the rings have been close by the border, places for poles to carry the table.¹⁵ And he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold, to carry the table;¹⁶ and he makes the vessels which [are] on the table, its dishes, and its bowls, and its cups, and the cups by which they pour out, of pure gold.¹⁷ And he makes the lampstand of pure gold; he has made the lampstand of beaten work, its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers, have been of the same;¹⁸ and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its second side;¹⁹ three calyxes, made like almonds, in one branch, a knob and a flower; and three calyxes, made like almonds, in another branch, a knob and a flower; so for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand.²⁰ And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers,²¹ and a knob under the two branches of the same, and a knob under the two branches of the same, and a knob under the two branches of the same, [are] for the six branches which are coming out of it;²² their knobs and their branches have been of the same; all of it one beaten work of pure gold.²³ And he makes its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold;²⁴ he has made it of a talent of pure gold, and with all its vessels.

²⁵ And he makes the incense-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 overlays it with pure gold, around its top and its sides, and its horns; and he makes a wreath of gold for it all around;²⁷ and he has made two rings of gold for it under its wreath, at its two corners, at its two sides, for places for poles to carry it with them.²⁸ And he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with gold;²⁹ and he makes the holy anointing oil, and the pure spice-incense—work of a compounder.
