Exodus 37
English Standard Version
Making the Ark
37 (A)Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits[a] 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 inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold for its (B)four feet, 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 gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat, 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.
Making the Table
10 (C)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 a rim around it a handbreadth[b] wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim. 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 that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour drink offerings.
Making the Lampstand
17 (D)He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work. Its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, 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 almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx 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 almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers, 21 and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it. 22 Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold. 23 And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold. 24 He made it and all its utensils out of a talent[c] of pure gold.
Making the Altar of Incense
25 (E)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 around its sides and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around 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 (F)He made the holy anointing oil also, and the (G)pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer.

37 Hizo también Bezaleel el arca de madera de acacia; su longitud era de dos codos y medio, su anchura de codo y medio, y su altura de codo y medio.
2 Y la cubrió de oro puro por dentro y por fuera, y le hizo una cornisa de oro en derredor.
3 Además fundió para ella cuatro anillos de oro a sus cuatro esquinas; en un lado dos anillos y en el otro lado dos anillos.
4 Hizo también varas de madera de acacia, y las cubrió de oro.
5 Y metió las varas por los anillos a los lados del arca, para llevar el arca.
6 Hizo asimismo el propiciatorio de oro puro; su longitud de dos codos y medio, y su anchura de codo y medio.
7 Hizo también los dos querubines de oro, labrados a martillo, en los dos extremos del propiciatorio.
8 Un querubín a un extremo, y otro querubín al otro extremo; de una pieza con el propiciatorio hizo los querubines a sus dos extremos.
9 Y los querubines extendían sus alas por encima, cubriendo con sus alas el propiciatorio; y sus rostros el uno enfrente del otro miraban hacia el propiciatorio.
10 Hizo también la mesa de madera de acacia; su longitud de dos codos, su anchura de un codo, y de codo y medio su altura;
11 y la cubrió de oro puro, y le hizo una cornisa de oro alrededor.
12 Le hizo también una moldura de un palmo menor de anchura alrededor, e hizo en derredor de la moldura una cornisa de oro.
13 Le hizo asimismo de fundición cuatro anillos de oro, y los puso a las cuatro esquinas que correspondían a las cuatro patas de ella.
14 Debajo de la moldura estaban los anillos, por los cuales se metían las varas para llevar la mesa.
15 E hizo las varas de madera de acacia para llevar la mesa, y las cubrió de oro.

El candelero
17 Hizo asimismo el candelero de oro puro, labrado a martillo; su pie, su caña, sus copas, sus manzanas y sus flores eran de lo mismo.
18 De sus lados salían seis brazos; tres brazos de un lado del candelero, y otros tres brazos del otro lado del candelero.
19 En un brazo, tres copas en forma de flor de almendro, una manzana y una flor, y en otro brazo tres copas en figura de flor de almendro, una manzana y una flor; así en los seis brazos que salían del candelero.
20 Y en la caña del candelero había cuatro copas en figura de flor de almendro, sus manzanas y sus flores,
21 y una manzana debajo de dos brazos del mismo, y otra manzana debajo de otros dos brazos del mismo, y otra manzana debajo de los otros dos brazos del mismo, conforme a los seis brazos que salían de él.
22 Sus manzanas y sus brazos eran de lo mismo; todo era una pieza labrada a martillo, de oro puro.
23 Hizo asimismo sus siete lamparillas, sus despabiladeras y sus platillos, de oro puro.
24 De un talento de oro puro lo hizo, con todos sus utensilios.
El altar del incienso
25 Hizo también el altar del incienso, de madera de acacia; de un codo su longitud, y de otro codo su anchura; era cuadrado, y su altura de dos codos; y sus cuernos de la misma pieza.
26 Y lo cubrió de oro puro, su cubierta y sus paredes alrededor, y sus cuernos, y le hizo una cornisa de oro alrededor.
27 Le hizo también dos anillos de oro debajo de la cornisa en las dos esquinas a los dos lados, para meter por ellos las varas con que había de ser conducido.
28 E hizo las varas de madera de acacia, y las cubrió de oro.
29 Hizo asimismo el aceite santo de la unción, y el incienso puro, aromático, según el arte del perfumador.
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.
