Exodus 37
1 And
Bezaleel made the
ark of
shittim wood: two
cubits and a
half was the
length of it, and a
cubit and a
half the
breadth of it, and a
cubit and a
half the
height of it:
2 And he
overlaid it with
pure gold within and
without, and
made a
crown of
gold to it round
about. 3 And he
cast for it
four rings of
gold, to be set by the
four corners of it; even
two rings upon the
one side of it, and
two rings upon the
other side of it.
4 And he
made staves of
shittim wood, and
overlaid them with
gold. 5 And he
put the
staves into the
rings by the
sides of the
ark, to
bear the
ark. 6 And he
made the mercy
seat of
pure gold: two
cubits and a
half was the
length thereof, and one
cubit and a
half the
breadth thereof.
7 And he
made two cherubims of
gold, beaten out of one
piece made he them, on the
two ends of the mercy
seat; 8 One cherub on the
end on this side, and
another cherub on the other
end on that side: out of the mercy
seat made he the
cherubims on the
two ends thereof.
9 And the
cherubims spread
out their
wings on
high, and
covered with their
wings over the mercy
seat, with their
faces one to
another; even to the mercy
seatward were the
faces of the
cherubims. 10 And he
made the
table of
shittim wood: two
cubits was the
length thereof, and a
cubit the
breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a
half the
height thereof:
11 And he
overlaid it with
pure gold, and
made thereunto a
crown of
gold round
about. 12 Also he
made thereunto a
border of an
handbreadth round
about; and
made a
crown of
gold for the
border thereof round
about. 13 And he
cast for it
four rings of
gold, and
put the
rings upon the
four corners that were in the
four feet thereof.
14 Over
against the
border were the
rings, the
places for the
staves to
bear the
table. 15 And he
made the
staves of
shittim wood, and
overlaid them with
gold, to
bear the
table. 16 And he
made the
vessels which were upon the
table, his
dishes, and his
spoons, and his
bowls, and his
covers to
cover withal, of
pure gold. 17 And he
made the
candlestick of
pure gold: of beaten
work made he the
candlestick; his
shaft, and his
branch, his
bowls, his
knops, and his
flowers, were of the same:
18 And
six branches going
out of the
sides thereof;
three branches of the
candlestick out of the
one side thereof, and
three branches of the
candlestick out of the
other side thereof:
19 Three bowls made after the fashion of
almonds in
one branch, a
knop and a
flower; and
three bowls made like
almonds in
another branch, a
knop and a
flower: so throughout the
six branches going
out of the
candlestick. 20 And in the
candlestick were
four bowls made like
almonds, his
knops, and his
flowers: 21 And a
knop under
two branches of the same, and a
knop under
two branches of the same, and a
knop under
two branches of the same, according to the
six branches going
out of it.
22 Their
knops and their
branches were of the same: all of it was
one beaten
work of
pure gold. 23 And he
made his
seven lamps, and his
snuffers, and his
snuffdishes, of
pure gold. 24 Of a
talent of
pure gold made he it, and all the
vessels thereof.
25 And he
made the
incense altar of
shittim wood: the
length of it was a
cubit, and the
breadth of it a
cubit; it was
foursquare; and two
cubits was the
height of it; the
horns thereof were of the same.
26 And he
overlaid it with
pure gold, both the
top of it, and the
sides thereof round
about, and the
horns of it: also he
made unto it a
crown of
gold round
about. 27 And he
made two rings of
gold for it under the
crown thereof, by the
two corners of it, upon the
two sides thereof, to be
places for the
staves to
bear it withal.
28 And he
made the
staves of
shittim wood, and
overlaid them with
gold. 29 And he
made the
holy anointing oil, and the
pure incense of sweet
spices, according to the
work of the
apothecary.
