Exode 37
Louis Segond
37 Betsaleel fit l'arche de bois d'acacia; sa longueur était de deux coudées et demie, sa largeur d'une coudée et demie, et sa hauteur d'une coudée et demie.
2 Il la couvrit d'or pur en dedans et en dehors, et il y fit une bordure d'or tout autour.
3 Il fondit pour elle quatre anneaux d'or, qu'il mit à ses quatre coins, deux anneaux d'un côté et deux anneaux de l'autre côté.
4 Il fit des barres de bois d'acacia, et les couvrit d'or.
5 Il passa les barres dans les anneaux sur les côtés de l'arche, pour porter l'arche.
6 Il fit un propitiatoire d'or pur; sa longueur était de deux coudées et demie, et sa largeur d'une coudée et demie.
7 Il fit deux chérubins d'or; il les fit d'or battu, aux deux extrémités du propitiatoire,
8 un chérubin à l'une des extrémités, et un chérubin à l'autre extrémité; il fit les chérubins sortant du propitiatoire à ses deux extrémités.
9 Les chérubins étendaient les ailes par-dessus, couvrant de leurs ailes le propitiatoire, et se regardant l'un l'autre; les chérubins avaient la face tournée vers le propitiatoire.
10 Il fit la table de bois d'acacia, sa longueur était de deux coudées, sa largeur d'une coudée, et sa hauteur d'une coudée et demie.
11 Il la couvrit d'or pur, et il y fit une bordure d'or tout autour.
12 Il y fit à l'entour un rebord de quatre doigts, sur lequel il mit une bordure d'or tout autour.
13 Il fondit pour la table quatre anneaux d'or, et mit les anneaux aux quatre coins, qui étaient à ses quatre pieds.
14 Les anneaux étaient près du rebord, et recevaient les barres pour porter la table.
15 Il fit les barres de bois d'acacia, et les couvrit d'or; et elles servaient à porter la table.
16 Il fit les ustensiles qu'on devait mettre sur la table, ses plats, ses coupes, ses calices et ses tasses pour servir aux libations; il les fit d'or pur.
17 Il fit le chandelier d'or pur; il fit le chandelier d'or battu; son pied, sa tige, ses calices, ses pommes et ses fleurs, étaient d'une même pièce.
18 Six branches sortaient de ses côtés, trois branches du chandelier de l'un des côtés, et trois branches du chandelier de l'autre côté.
19 Il y avait sur une branche trois calices en forme d'amande, avec pommes et fleurs, et sur une autre branche trois calices en forme d'amande, avec pommes et fleurs; il en était de même pour les six branches sortant du chandelier.
20 A la tige du chandelier il y avait quatre calices en forme d'amande, avec leurs pommes et leurs fleurs.
21 Il y avait une pomme sous deux des branches sortant du chandelier, une pomme sous deux autres branches, et une pomme sous deux autres branches; il en était de même pour les six branches sortant du chandelier.
22 Les pommes et les branches du chandelier étaient d'une même pièce; il était tout entier d'or battu, d'or pur.
23 Il fit ses sept lampes, ses mouchettes et ses vases à cendre d'or pur.
24 Il employa un talent d'or pur, pour faire le chandelier avec tous ses ustensiles.
25 Il fit l'autel des parfums de bois d'acacia; sa longueur était d'une coudée et sa largeur d'une coudée; il était carré, et sa hauteur était de deux coudées. Des cornes sortaient de l'autel.
26 Il le couvrit d'or pur, le dessus, les côtés tout autour et les cornes, et il y fit une bordure d'or tout autour.
27 Il fit au-dessous de la bordure deux anneaux d'or aux deux côtés; il en mit aux deux côtés, pour recevoir les barres qui servaient à le porter.
28 Il fit des barres de bois d'acacia, et les couvrit d'or.
29 Il fit l'huile pour l'onction sainte, et le parfum odoriférant, pur, composé selon l'art du parfumeur.
Exodus 37
New King James Version
Making the Ark of the Testimony(A)
37 Then (B)Bezalel made (C)the ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side of it. 4 He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 6 He also made the (D)mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits was its length and a cubit and a half its width. 7 He made two cherubim of beaten gold; he made them of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat: 8 one cherub at one end on this side, and the other cherub at the other end on that side. He made the cherubim at the two ends of one piece with the mercy seat. 9 The cherubim spread out their wings above, and covered the (E)mercy seat with their wings. They faced one another; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
Making the Table for the Showbread(F)
10 He made (G)the table of acacia wood; two cubits was its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold all around it. 12 Also he made a frame of a handbreadth all around it, and made a molding of gold for the frame all around it. 13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs. 14 The rings were close to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table. 15 And he made the poles of acacia wood to bear the table, and overlaid them with gold. 16 He made of pure gold the utensils which were on the table: its (H)dishes, its cups, its bowls, and its pitchers for pouring.
Making the Gold Lampstand(I)
17 He also made the (J)lampstand of pure gold; of hammered work he made the lampstand. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and its flowers were of the same piece. 18 And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. 19 There were three bowls made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower—and so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 20 And on the lampstand itself were four bowls made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower. 21 There was a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches extending from it. 22 Their knobs and their branches were of one piece; all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold. 23 And he made its seven lamps, its (K)wick-trimmers, and its trays of pure gold. 24 Of a talent of pure gold he made it, with all its utensils.
Making the Altar of Incense(L)
25 (M)He made the incense altar of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit and its width a cubit—it was square—and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it. 26 And he overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides all around, and its horns. He also made for it a molding of gold all around it. 27 He made two rings of gold for it under its molding, by its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to bear it. 28 And he (N)made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Making the Anointing Oil and the Incense(O)
29 He also made (P)the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer.
Exodus 37
Revised Geneva Translation
37 After this, Bezalel made the Ark of shittim wood, two cubits and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high.
2 And he overlaid it with fine gold, inside and outside, and made a border of gold for it, all around.
3 And he cast four rings of gold for it (for the four corners of it), two rings for one side of it and two rings for the other side of it.
4 Also, he made poles of shittim wood and covered them with gold.
5 And he put the poles in the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.
6 And he made the Mercy Seat of pure gold. The length of it was two and a half cubits, and the breadth of it one cubit and a half.
7 And he made two Cherubims of gold upon the two ends of the Mercy Seat. He made them of work beaten with the hammer,
8 one Cherub on one end and another Cherub on the other end. He made the Cherubims as part of the Mercy Seat, at its two ends.
9 And the Cherubims spread out their wings on high and covered the Mercy Seat with their wings. And their faces were towards each another. The faces of the Cherubims were toward the Mercy Seat.
10 Also, he made the Table of shittim wood. The length of it was two cubits and its breadth a cubit. And the height of it was a cubit and a half.
11 And he overlaid it with fine gold and made a border of gold for it, all around.
12 Also, he made a rim for it, the size of a hand-breadth, all around, and made a border of gold upon the rim, all around.
13 And he cast four rings of gold for it and put the rings in the four corners, on its four feet.
14 Against the border were the rings, as places for the poles to bear the Table.
15 And he made the poles of shittim wood and covered them with gold, to bear the Table.
16 Also, he made the instruments for the Table (of pure gold): dishes for it, and cups for it, and bowls for it, and jars for it (with which to pour drink offerings).
17 Likewise, he made the Lampstand of pure gold. He made the Lampstand of work beaten out with the hammer. Its shaft, its branch, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers were of one piece.
18 And six branches came out of the sides of it, 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 On one branch there were three bowls (made like almonds), a knob, and a flower. And on another branch were three bowls (made like almonds), a knob and a flower. So it was on all the six branches that proceeded out of the Lampstand.
20 And upon the Lampstand were four bowls (after the fashion of almonds), its knobs and its flowers.
21 That is, under the first two branches there was a knob, and a knob under the second two branches, and a knob under the third two branches, according to the six branches coming out of it.
22 Their knobs and their branches were part of the same piece. It was all one beaten work of pure gold.
23 And he made seven lamps for it, with its snuffers and its trays of pure gold.
24 He made it from a talent of pure gold, with all its instruments.
25 Furthermore, he made the Incense Altar of shittim wood. The length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit (it was square), and two cubits high. Its horns were part of the same piece.
26 And he covered it with pure gold, both its top and its sides, all around, and its horns. And he made a border of gold for it, all around.
27 And under its border he made two rings of gold for it (in the two corners of its two sides), to put poles in with which to bear it.
28 Also, he made the poles of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the sweet pure incense, according to the perfumer’s art.
