  • 1. And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;
  • 2. Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.
  • 3. And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,
  • 4. And rods of the same wood plated with gold.
  • 5. These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.
  • 6. And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
  • 7. And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;
  • 8. Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.
  • 9. And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.
  • 10. And he made the table of hard wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high;
  • 11. Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.
  • 12. And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.
  • 13. And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet.
  • 14. The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.
  • 15. The rods for lifting the table he made of hard wood plated with gold.
  • 16. And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best gold.
  • 17. Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:
  • 18. It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from the other;
  • 19. Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;
  • 20. And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;
  • 21. And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.
  • 22. The buds and the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold.
  • 23. And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.
  • 24. A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.
  • 25. And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.
  • 26. The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.
  • 27. And he made two gold rings, placing them on the two opposite sides under the edge, to take the rods for lifting it.
  • 28. The rods he made of the same hard wood, plating them with gold.
  • 29. And he made the holy oil and the perfume of sweet spices for burning, after the art of the perfume-maker.
