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.

Ang Kaban ng Tipan(A)
37 Yari sa akasya ang ginawa ni Bezalel na Kaban ng Tipan: 1.1 metro ang haba, 0.7 metro ang luwang, at 0.7 metro ang taas. 2 Binalot niya ng ginto ang loob at labas, at ang labi nito'y nilagyan nila ng muldurang ginto. 3 Gumawa siya ng apat na argolyang ginto at ikinabit sa apat na paa ng kaban, tigalawa sa magkabila. 4 Gumawa rin siya ng kahoy na pampasan na yari sa akasya at binalutan din niya ito ng ginto. 5 Isinuot niya ang mga ito sa mga argolya sa magkabilang gilid upang maging pasanan nito. 6 Ginawa rin niya ang Luklukan ng Awa na yari sa purong ginto. Ang haba nito'y 1.1 metro, at 0.7 metro naman ang luwang. 7 Ang magkabilang dulo nito ay iginawa niya ng dalawang kerubing yari sa purong ginto, 8 tig-isa sa magkabilang dulo. Ikinabit niya itong mabuti sa Luklukan ng Awa, kaya ito at ang mga kerubin ay naging isang piraso. 9 Magkaharap ang mga kerubin at nakatungo sa Luklukan ng Awa. Nakabuka ang kanilang mga pakpak at nakalukob dito.
Ang Mesa ng Tinapay na Handog sa Diyos(B)
10 Gumawa rin ng mesang akasya si Bezalel; 0.9 na metro ang haba nito, 0.5 metro ang lapad at 0.7 metro ang taas. 11 Binalot niya ito ng ginto at pati na ang paligid. 12 Nilagyan niya ito ng sinepa na singlapad ng isang palad at pinaligiran din ng ginto. 13 Gumawa siya ng apat na argolyang ginto at ikinabit sa apat na sulok, sa may tapat ng paa nito. 14 Ang mga argolyang pagkakabitan ng mga kahoy na pampasan ay malapit sa sinepa. 15 Iginawa rin niya ang mesa ng mga pampasan na yari sa akasya at binalutan din ng ginto. 16 Gumawa rin siya ng mga kagamitang ginto para sa mesa: mga plato, tasa, banga at mangkok para sa handog na inumin.
Ang Ilawan(C)
17 Gumawa rin siya ng ilawang yari sa purong ginto. Ang patungan at tagdan nito'y yari sa pinitpit na purong ginto. Ang mga palamuti nitong bulaklak, ang buko at mga talulot ay parang iisang piraso. 18 Mayroon itong anim na sanga, tigatlo sa magkabila. 19 Bawat sanga ay may tatlong magagandang bulaklak na parang almendra, may usbong at may talulot. 20 Ang tagdan ay may tig-apat ding bulaklak na tulad ng nasa sanga. 21 May tig-iisang usbong sa ilalim ng mga sanga, isa sa ilalim ng bawat sanga. 22 Ang mga usbong, mga sanga at ang tagdan ng ilawan ay iisang piraso na gawa sa purong ginto. 23 Ang ilawan ay iginawa niya ng pitong ilaw na may kasamang pang-ipit ng mitsa at patungan na pawang dalisay na ginto. 24 Ang nagamit sa ilawan ay tatlumpu't limang kilong purong ginto.
Ang Paggawa sa Altar na Sunugan ng Insenso(D)
25 Gumawa siya ng altar na sunugan ng insenso. Ito ay yari sa punong akasya. Ito ay parisukat, 0.5 metro ang haba, gayundin ang lapad at 0.9 na metro ang taas. Ang apat na sulok nito ay nilagyan niya ng sungay na kaisang piraso ng altar. 26 Binalutan niya ang ibabaw nito ng purong ginto. Ang mga gilid at ang mga sungay ay binalot din ng ginto. 27 Gumawa siya ng dalawang argolyang ginto at ikinabit sa magkabilang gilid sa ibaba para pagsuutan ng pampasan. 28 Gumawa rin siya ng pampasan na yari sa punong akasya at ito'y binalot din ng ginto.
Ang Langis na Pampahid at ang Insenso(E)
29 Si(F) Bezalel din ang naghalo ng sagradong langis na pampahid at ng purong insenso at ito'y parang ginawa ng isang dalubhasa sa paggawa ng pabango.

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 cherubims on the two ends thereof.
9 And the cherubims 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 seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
10 And he made the table of 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.

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.

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 shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
