## 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.
