| 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. |
