aBezalel made the ark of the covenant of acacia wood—it was two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide, and one and a half cubits high. And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a molding (border) of gold to go all around the top of it. He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other side. He made carrying poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. He put the carrying poles through the rings at the sides of the ark, to carry it. Bezalel made the mercy seat of pure gold; it was two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide. He made two cherubim of hammered gold; he made them at the two ends of the mercy seat, one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two ends. The cherubim spread out their wings upward, covering and protecting the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were looking downward toward the mercy seat. Heb 9:23-26

10 aBezalel made the table for the bread of acacia wood; it was two cubits long, a cubit wide, and one and a half cubits high. 11 He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a border of gold for it all around its top. 12 He made a rim for it just under the top a hand width wide all around, and a border of gold around its rim. 13 He cast four rings of gold for it and fastened the rings to the four corners that were at its four legs. 14 Close by the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to pass through to carry the table. 15 Bezalel made the carrying poles of acacia wood to carry the table and overlaid them with gold. 16 He made the utensils which were to be on the table, its dishes and its pans for bread, its bowls and its jars for pouring drink offerings, of pure gold.

17 aThen he made the lampstand (menorah) of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its center shaft; its cups, its 1calyxes, and its flowers were all of one piece with it. 18 There were six branches coming out of the sides of the lampstand, three branches from one side of the center shaft and three branches from the other side of it; 19 three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a calyx and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a calyx and a flower in the opposite branch—so for the six branches coming out of the center shaft of the lampstand. 20 On the center shaft of the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with calyxes and flowers one at the top; 21 and a calyx was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a calyx under the second pair of branches, coming out of it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 22 Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it; all of it was a single hammered work of pure gold. 23 He made its seven lamps with its snuffers and its trays of pure gold. 24 He made the lampstand and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold. John 1:4, 5, 9; 2+@Cor 4:6

25 aThen Bezalel made the incense altar of acacia wood; its top was a cubit square and it was two cubits high; the horns were of one piece with it. 26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, its sides all around and its horns; he also made a rim of gold around it. 27 He made two rings of gold for it under its rim, on its two opposite sides, as holders for the poles to pass through to carry it. 28 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 29 aHe also made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.

Making the Ark of the Testimony

aAnd Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half 1cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 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 1other side of it. He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry 1it. He made a 1mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half 2cubits 3long and one and a half cubits 4wide. He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work 1at the two ends of the mercy seat; one cherub 1at the one end and one cherub 2at the other end; from one piece he made the mercy seat with the cherubim 3at its two ends. 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 aThen he made the table of acacia wood, two 1cubits 2long and a cubit 3wide and one and a half cubits 4high. 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 1dishes and its pans and its offering bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.

Making the Lampstand

17 aThen he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its 1bulbs, and its flowers were 2of 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 1other side of it; 19 three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a 1bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a 2bulb and a flower in the other branchso for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 20 In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 1bulbs and its flowers; 21 and a 1bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 2bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 3bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 22 Their 1bulbs 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 1trays of pure gold. 24 He made it and all its utensils from a 1talent of pure gold.

Making the Altar of Incense

25 aThen he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit 1long and a cubit 2wide, square, and two cubits 3high; its horns were of one piece with it. 26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its 1sides 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 aAnd he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.

aNow Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half 1cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 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 1other side of it. He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry 1it. He made a 1mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits 2long and one and a half cubits 3wide. He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work 1at the two ends of the mercy seat; one cherub 1at the one end and one cherub 2at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat 3at the two ends. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the 1mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

10 aThen he made the table of acacia wood, two 1cubits 2long and a cubit 3wide and one and a half cubits 4high. 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 by 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 1dishes and its pans and its 2bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.

17 aThen he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its 1bulbs and its flowers were of one piece with it. 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 1other side of it; 19 three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a 1bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a 2bulb and a flower in the other branchso for the six branches going out of the lampstand. 20 In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 1bulbs and its flowers; 21 and a 1bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 2bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 3bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 22 Their 1bulbs 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 snuffers and its 1trays of pure gold. 24 He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.

25 aThen he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit 1long and a cubit 2wide, square, and two cubits 3high; its horns were of one piece with it. 26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its 1sides 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 aAnd he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.
