Chapter 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 cherubim 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
cherubim on the two ends thereof. |
| 9 | And the cherubim 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
cherubim. |
| 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. |
