1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high.
2 He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
3 He cast four gold rings for it and attached them to its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other.
4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold,
5 and he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark for carrying it.
6 He made the mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
7 He made two cherubim of gold, making them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat,
8 one cherub at one end and the other cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat, at its two ends.
9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, sheltering the mercy seat with their wings. They faced each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
10 He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.
11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
12 He made a rim a handbreadth wide around it and put a gold molding around the rim.
13 He cast four gold rings for it and fastened the rings at the four corners, where its four legs were.
14 The rings were close to the rim to hold the poles used to carry the table.
15 He made the poles for carrying the table of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
16 And he made the utensils for the table of pure gold: its plates and dishes, and its bowls and flagons for pouring out offerings.
17 He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, with its base and its shaft; its cups, its knobs and its flowers were of one piece with it.
18 Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lampstand on one side and three on the other.
19 On one branch were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a knob and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the next branch, each with a knob and a flower; the same for all six branches that extended from the lampstand.
20 On the lampstand itself were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with their knobs and flowers.
21 There was a knob under the first pair of branches extending from it, a knob under the second pair and a knob under the third pair; so for all six branches that extended from it.
22 The knobs and the branches were of one piece with it; the whole lampstand was a single hammered piece of pure gold.
23 He made its seven lamps, and its tongs and trays, of pure gold.
24 He made the lampstand and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.
25 He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, with its horns of one piece with it.
26 He overlaid its top, its sides all around and its horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.
27 He made two gold rings for it below the molding, on two opposite sides, to hold the poles by which it was carried.
28 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
29 He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure fragrant incense, blended as a perfumer would.
