## Making the Ark of the Testimony ###### 1 And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; ###### 2 and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. ###### 3 He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. ###### 4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ###### 5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it. ###### 6 He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. ###### 7 He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat; ###### 8 one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; from _one piece_ he made the mercy seat _with_ the cherubim at its two ends. ###### 9 The cherubim had _their_ wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat. ## Making the Table ###### 10 Then he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long and a cubit wide and one and a half cubits high. ###### 11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding for it all around. ###### 12 He made a rim for it of a handbreadth all around and made a gold molding for its rim all around. ###### 13 He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four feet. ###### 14 Close to the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table. ###### 15 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. ###### 16 He made the utensils which were on the table, its dishes and its pans and its offering bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold. ## Making the Lampstand ###### 17 Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its bulbs, and its flowers were of _the same piece_. ###### 18 There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the other side of it; ###### 19 three cups shaped like almond _blossoms_, a bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond _blossoms_, a bulb and a flower in the other branch--so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. ###### 20 In the lampstand _there were_ four cups shaped like almond _blossoms_, its bulbs and its flowers; ###### 21 and a bulb was under the _first_ pair of branches _coming_ out of it, and a bulb under the _second_ pair of branches _coming_ out of it, and a bulb under the _third_ pair of branches _coming_ out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. ###### 22 Their bulbs and their branches were _of one piece_ with it; the whole of it _was_ a single hammered work of pure gold. ###### 23 He made its seven lamps with its tongs and its trays of pure gold. ###### 24 He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold. ## Making the Altar of Incense ###### 25 Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high; its horns were _of one piece_ with it. ###### 26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around. ###### 27 He made two golden rings for it under its molding, on its two sides--on opposite sides--as holders for poles with which to carry it. ###### 28 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ###### 29 And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.
