EXODUS 37 (NIV)
- Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood - two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
- He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
- He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other.
- Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
- And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
- He made the atonement cover of pure gold - two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
- Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
- He made one cherub on one and and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover.
- The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other; looking toward the cover.
- They made the table of acacia wood - two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
- Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
- They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
- They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.
- The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.
- The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold.
- And they made from pure gold the articles of the table - its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.
- They made the lampstand of pure gold and hammered it out, base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms were of one piece with it.
- Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand - three on one side and three on the other.
- Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branches, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand.
- And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.
- One bud was under the first pair of branches exteding from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and the third bud under the third pair - six branches i all.
- The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
- They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold.
- They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold.
- They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high - its horns of one piece with it.
- They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.
- They made two gold rings below the molding - two on opposite sides - to hold the poles used to carry it.
- They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
- They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense - the work of a perfumer.
