Exodus 37

¹ Bezalel made the coffer of acacia boards, two cubits and a half its length and a cubit and a half its width and a cubit and a half its rise. ² He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside and made for it a flange of gold round about. ³ He cast four rings of gold for it on its four footings with two rings on its one angle wall and two rings on its second angle wall. ⁴ Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold; ⁵ and he inserted the poles in the rings on the angle walls of the coffer to carry the coffer. ⁶ He also made the propitiatory shelter of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length and a cubit and a half its width. ⁷ Then he made two cherubim of gold; he hammered them a stiff shell of one piece with the two ends of the propitiatory shelter, ⁸ one cherub from this end and one cherub from that end. From the propitiatory shelter he made the cherubim of one piece with its two ends. ⁹ The cherubim came to be with spreading wings above, overshadowing with their wings over the propitiatory shelter with their faces each to his fellow. Toward the propitiatory shelter the faces of the cherubim came to be. ¹⁰ Then he made the table of acacia boards, two cubits its length and a cubit its width and a cubit and a half its rise. ¹¹ He overlaid it with pure gold and made for it a flange of gold round about. ¹² He also made for it a border of a handbreadth round about and made a flange of gold for its border round about. ¹³ Then he cast for it four rings of gold and put the rings on the four edges which were for its four feet. ¹⁴ The rings came to correspond with the border, housings for the poles to carry the table. ¹⁵ He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold to carry the table. ¹⁶ He also made the furnishings which were on the table, its dishes, its spoons, its waste pans and the chalices with which libations were made, of pure gold. ¹⁷ Then he made the lampstand of pure gold; of a stiff shell he made the lampstand, its stem and its tube; its cones, its spheres and its buds were of one piece with it. ¹⁸ And six tubes came forth from its sides, three tubes of the lampstand from one of its sides and three tubes of the lampstand from its second side. ¹⁹ Three almond shaped cones were on the one tube, a sphere and a bud, and three almond shaped cones on the other tube, a sphere and a bud: thus for the six tubes coming forth from the lampstand. ²⁰ On the lampstand were four almond shaped cones, its spheres and its buds, ²¹ and a sphere under two of the tubes from it, and a sphere under two of the tubes from it, and a sphere under two of the tubes from it, for the six tubes coming forth from the lampstand. ²² Their spheres and their tubes were of one piece with it, all of it of one stiff shell of pure gold. ²³ He also made its seven lamps and its snuffers and its fire-pans of pure gold; ²⁴ of a talent of pure gold he made it and all its furnishings. ²⁵ Then he made the incense altar of acacia boards, a cubit its length and a cubit its width. It was square, and its rise was two cubits. Its horns were of one piece with it. ²⁶ He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and around its sidewalls and its horns, and made for it a flange of gold round about. ²⁷ Two rings of gold he made for it beneath its flange on its two angle walls on its two sides for housings for the poles, to carry it with them. ²⁸ He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ²⁹ He also made the holy anointing oil and the incense of pure spices, the handiwork of a compounder.
