| 1 | Bez'alel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. |
| 2 | And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a molding of gold around it. |
| 3 | And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four corners, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. |
| 4 | And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, |
| 5 | and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark. |
| 6 | And he made a mercy seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. |
| 7 | And he made two cherubim of hammered gold; on the two ends of the mercy seat he made them, |
| 8 | one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. |
| 9 | The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim. |
| 10 | He also made the table of acacia wood; two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height; |
| 11 | and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it. |
| 12 | And he made around it a frame a handbreadth wide, and made a molding of gold around the frame. |
| 13 | He cast for it four rings of gold, and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs. |
| 14 | Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table. |
| 15 | He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold. |
| 16 | And he made the vessels of pure gold which were to be upon the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour libations. |
| 17 | He also made the lampstand of pure gold. The base and the shaft of the lampstand were made of hammered work; its cups, its capitals, and its flowers were of one piece with it. |
| 18 | And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it; |
| 19 | three cups made like almonds, each with capital and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almonds, each with capital and flower, on the other branch -- so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. |
| 20 | And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almonds, with their capitals and flowers, |
| 21 | and a capital of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it. |
| 22 | Their capitals and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was one piece of hammered work of pure gold. |
| 23 | And he made its seven lamps and its snuffers and its trays of pure gold. |
| 24 | He made it and all its utensils of a talent of pure gold. |
| 25 | He made the altar of incense of acacia wood; its length was a cubit, and its breadth was a cubit; it was square, and two cubits was its height; its horns were of one piece with it. |
| 26 | He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and he made a molding of gold round about it, |
| 27 | and made two rings of gold on it under its molding, on two opposite sides of it, as holders for the poles with which to carry it. |
| 28 | And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. |
| 29 | He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer. |
| 1 | He made the altar of burnt offering also of acacia wood; five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth; it was square, and three cubits was its height. |
| 2 | He made horns for it on its four corners; its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. |
| 3 | And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans: all its utensils he made of bronze. |
| 4 | And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down. |
| 5 | He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles; |
| 6 | he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. |
| 7 | And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it with them; he made it hollow, with boards. |
| 8 | And he made the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the tent of meeting. |
| 9 | And he made the court; for the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits; |
| 10 | their pillars were twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. |
| 11 | And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. |
| 12 | And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. |
| 13 | And for the front to the east, fifty cubits. |
| 14 | The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three bases. |
| 15 | And so for the other side; on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three bases. |
| 16 | All the hangings round about the court were of fine twined linen. |
| 17 | And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver; the overlaying of their capitals was also of silver, and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. |
| 18 | And the screen for the gate of the court was embroidered with needlework in blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen; it was twenty cubits long and five cubits high in its breadth, corresponding to the hangings of the court. |
| 19 | And their pillars were four; their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver. |
| 20 | And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court round about were of bronze. |
| 21 | This is the sum of the things for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted at the commandment of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ith'amar the son of Aaron the priest. |
| 22 | Bez'alel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses; |
| 23 | and with him was Oho'liab the son of Ahis'amach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman and designer and embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen. |
| 24 | All the gold that was used for the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary. |
| 25 | And the silver from those of the congregation who were numbered was a hundred talents and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary: |
| 26 | a beka a head (that is, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary), for every one who was numbered in the census, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men. |
| 27 | The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary, and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent for a base. |
| 28 | And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals and made fillets for them. |
| 29 | And the bronze that was contributed was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels; |
| 30 | with it he made the bases for the door of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar, |
| 31 | the bases round about the court, and the bases of the gate of the court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs round about the court. |
