Construction
Continues |
|
|
 |
| Exodus 37:1 |
|
Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its
length was two and a half cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its
height one and a half cubits; |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:2 |
|
and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and
out, and made a gold molding for it all around. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 37:3 |
|
He cast four rings of gold for it on its four
feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.
|
| |
|
|
| Exodus 37:4 |
|
He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them
with gold. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 37:5 |
|
He put the poles into the rings on the sides
of the ark, to carry it. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 37:6 |
|
He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a
half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 37:7 |
|
He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of
hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat; |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:8 |
|
one cherub at the one end and one cherub at
the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two
ends. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:9 |
|
The cherubim had their wings spread upward,
covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other;
the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:10 |
|
Then he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits
long and a cubit wide and one and a half cubits high. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:11 |
|
He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold
molding for it all around. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:12 |
|
He made a rim for it of a handbreadth all around,
and made a gold molding for its rim all around. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:13 |
|
He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings
on the four corners that were on its four feet. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:14 |
|
Close by the rim were the rings, the holders
for the poles to carry the table. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:15 |
|
He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid
them with gold, to carry the table. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:16 |
|
He made the utensils which were on the table,
its dishes and its pans and its bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink
offerings, of pure gold. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:17 |
|
Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He
made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its bulbs
and its flowers were of one piece with it. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:18 |
|
There were six branches going out of its sides;
three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of
the lampstand from the other side of it; |
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:19 |
|
three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb
and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb
and a flower in the other branch--so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
|
| |
|
|
| Exodus 37:20 |
|
In the lampstand there were four cups shaped
like almond blossoms, its bulbs and its flowers; |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 37:21 |
|
and a bulb was under the first pair of branches
coming out of it, and a bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it,
and a bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches
coming out of the lampstand. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:22 |
|
Their bulbs and their branches were of one piece
with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:23 |
|
He made its seven lamps with its snuffers and
its trays of pure gold. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:24 |
|
He made it and all its utensils from a talent
of pure gold. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:25 |
|
Then he made the altar of incense of acacia
wood: a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high; its horns were
of one piece with it. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:26 |
|
He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its
sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around.
|
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:27 |
|
He made two golden rings for it under its molding,
on its two sides--on opposite sides--as holders for poles with which to carry
it. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:28 |
|
He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid
them with gold. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 37:29 |
|
And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure,
fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer. |
