| 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. |
