Shemoth (Exodus) 37

¹And Betsal’ĕl made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

²And he overlaid it with clean gold inside and outside, and made a moulding of gold all around it.

³And he cast four rings of gold for it, for its four feet, two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.

⁴And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.

⁵And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to lift the ark.

⁶And he made a lid of atonement of clean gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

⁷And he made two keruḇim of beaten gold. He made them from the two ends of the lid of atonement,

⁸one keruḇ at one end on this side, and the other keruḇ at the other end on that side. He made the keruḇim from the lid of atonement, from the two ends.

⁹And the keruḇim spread out their wings above, and covered the lid of atonement with their wings, with their faces toward each other, the faces of the keruḇim were turned toward the lid of atonement.

¹⁰And he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, and a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.

¹¹And he overlaid it with clean gold, and made a moulding of gold all around it.

¹²And he made a rim of a handbreadth all around it, and made a moulding of gold for the rim all around it.

¹³And he cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs.

¹⁴The rings were next to the rim, as holders for the poles to lift the table.

¹⁵And he made the poles of acacia wood to lift the table, and overlaid them with gold.

¹⁶And he made the utensils which were on the table, its dishes, and its cups, and its bowls, and its jars for pouring, of clean gold.

¹⁷And he made the lampstand of clean gold. He made the lampstand of beaten work, its base, and its shaft, its cups, its ornamental knobs, and its blossoms were from it.

¹⁸And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side.

¹⁹There were three cups like almond flowers on one branch, with ornamental knob and blossom, and three cups like almond flowers on the other branch, a knob and a blossom – so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.

²⁰And on the lampstand were four cups like almond flowers, its knobs and blossoms,

²¹and a knob under the first two branches of the same, and a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, for the six branches coming out of it.

²²Their knobs and their branches were of it, all of it was one beaten work of clean gold.

²³And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its trays, of clean gold.

²⁴He made it of a talent of clean gold, and all its utensils.

²⁵And he made the incense slaughter-place of acacia wood, a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high. Its horns were of it.

²⁶And he overlaid it with clean gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns. And he made a moulding for it of gold all around it.

²⁷And he made two rings of gold for it under its moulding, at its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to lift it.

²⁸And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.

²⁹And he made the set-apart anointing oil and the clean incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer.
