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.
