Chapter 37
{Details
of the Ark of the Covenant Construction}
1
And Bezaleel made the ark of acacia/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 acacia/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 seat-ward were the faces of the cherubim.
10
And he made the table of acacia/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 acacia/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 acacia/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 acacia/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.
