Construction Continues

Exo 37:1

Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was [fn]two and a half cubits, its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits;

Exo 37:2and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around.
Exo 37:3He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the [fn]other side of it.
Exo 37:4And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
Exo 37:5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry [fn]it.
Exo 37:6He also made [fn]an atoning cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits [fn]long and one and a half cubits [fn]wide.
Exo 37:7And he made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work [fn]at the two ends of the atoning cover:
Exo 37:8one cherub [fn]at the one end and one cherub [fn]at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the atoning cover [fn]at the two ends.
Exo 37:9And the cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the atoning cover.
Exo 37:10

Then he made the table of acacia wood, [fn]two cubits [fn]long, a cubit [fn]wide, and one and a half cubits [fn]high.

Exo 37:11He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding for it all around.
Exo 37:12And he made a rim for it of a [fn]hand width all around, and made a gold molding for its rim all around.
Exo 37:13He also cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four legs.
Exo 37:14Close by the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table.
Exo 37:15And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.
Exo 37:16He also made the utensils which were on the table, its dishes, its pans, its libation bowls, and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.
Exo 37:17

Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its [fn]bulbs, and its flowers were of one piece with it.

Exo 37:18There 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 [fn]other side of it;
Exo 37:19three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a [fn]bulb and a flower on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a [fn]bulb and a flower on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
Exo 37:20And on the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its [fn]bulbs and its flowers;
Exo 37:21and a [fn]bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a [fn]bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a [fn]bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.
Exo 37:22Their [fn]bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold.
Exo 37:23And he made its seven lamps with its tongs and its trays of pure gold.
Exo 37:24He made it and all its utensils from a [fn]talent of pure gold.
Exo 37:25

Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit [fn]long and a cubit [fn]wide, square, and two cubits [fn]high; its horns were of one piece with it.

Exo 37:26And he overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its [fn]sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around.
Exo 37:27He also 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.
Exo 37:28And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
Exo 37:29Then he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.
