Making the Ark of the Testimony
37 (A)And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half [a]cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits; 2 and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around. 3 He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the [b]other side of it. 4 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry [c]it. 6 He made a [d]mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half [e]cubits [f]long and one and a half cubits [g]wide. 7 He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work [h]at the two ends of the mercy seat; 8 one cherub [i]at the one end and one cherub [j]at the other end; from one piece he made the mercy seat with the cherubim [k]at its two ends. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
Making the Table
10 (B)Then he made the table of acacia wood, two [l]cubits [m]long and a cubit [n]wide and one and a half cubits [o]high. 11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding for it all around. 12 He made a rim for it of a handbreadth all around and made a gold molding for its rim all around. 13 He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four feet. 14 Close to the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table. 15 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 16 He made the utensils which were on the table, its [p]dishes and its pans and its offering bowls and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.
Making the Lampstand
17 (C)Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its [q]bulbs, and its flowers were [r]of the same piece. 18 There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the [s]other side of it; 19 three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a [t]bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a [u]bulb and a flower in the other branch—so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 20 In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its [v]bulbs and its flowers; 21 and a [w]bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a [x]bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a [y]bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 22 Their [z]bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold. 23 He made its seven lamps with its tongs and its [aa]trays of pure gold. 24 He made it and all its utensils from a [ab]talent of pure gold.
Making the Altar of Incense
25 (D)Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit [ac]long and a cubit [ad]wide, square, and two cubits [ae]high; its horns were of one piece with it. 26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its [af]sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around. 27 He made two golden rings for it under its molding, on its two sides—on opposite sides—as holders for poles with which to carry it. 28 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 29 (E)And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.

Exodus 37
King James Version
37 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
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.
13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
15 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
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.
23 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
25 And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
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.
29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.

Förbundsarken
37 (A) Besalel gjorde arken[a] av akacieträ, två och en halv aln lång, en och en halv aln bred och en och en halv aln hög. 2 Han överdrog den med rent guld på insidan och utsidan och gjorde en guldkant runt den. 3 Han göt fyra ringar av guld till den och satte dem över de fyra fötterna på arken, två ringar på ena sidan och två ringar på den andra. 4 Och han gjorde stänger av akacieträ och överdrog dem med guld. 5 Stängerna sköt han in i ringarna på sidorna av arken, så att man kunde bära den.
6 Och han gjorde en nådastol av rent guld, två och en halv aln lång och en och en halv aln bred.
7 Han gjorde två keruber av guld. I hamrat arbete gjorde han dem och satte dem vid de båda ändarna av nådastolen, 8 en kerub vid ena änden och en vid den andra. I ett stycke med nådastolen gjorde han keruberna vid dess båda ändar. 9 Keruberna bredde ut sina vingar uppåt, så att de täckte nådastolen med sina vingar. Deras ansikten var vända mot varandra. Mot nådastolen var kerubernas ansikten vända.
Bordet för skådebröden
10 (B) Han gjorde bordet av akacieträ, två alnar långt, en aln brett och en och en halv aln[b] högt. 11 Han överdrog det med rent guld och gjorde en guldkant runt omkring det. 12 Runt bordet gjorde han en handsbred list, och runt omkring den gjorde han en kant av guld. 13 Till bordet göt han fyra ringar av guld och satte ringarna i de fyra hörnen vid de fyra benen. 14 Ringarna sattes vid listen som hållare för stängerna, så att man kunde bära bordet. 15 Han gjorde stängerna av akacieträ och överdrog dem med guld. Så kunde bordet bäras. 16 Och han gjorde kärlen till bordet: faten, skålarna, bägarna och kannorna som användes till att utgjuta dryckesoffren med, allt av rent guld.
Ljusstaken
17 (C) Han gjorde ljusstaken av rent guld. I hamrat arbete gjorde han den med fotställning och stam. Dess skålar, knoppar och blommor gjordes i ett stycke med den. 18 Sex armar utgick från ljusstakens sidor, tre armar från ena sidan och tre armar från andra sidan. 19 På den ena armen sattes tre skålar, formade som mandelblommor, vardera bestående av en knopp och en blomma, och på den andra armen likaså tre skålar, formade som mandelblommor, vardera bestående av en knopp och en blomma. Så gjordes på de sex armar som utgick från ljusstaken. 20 Men på själva ljusstaken sattes fyra skålar, formade som mandelblommor med sina knoppar och blommor. 21 En knopp sattes under det första armparet som utgick från ljusstaken i ett stycke med den, en knopp under det andra armparet i ett stycke med den och en knopp under det tredje armparet i ett stycke med den, alltså under de sex armar som utgick från ljusstaken. 22 Och deras knoppar och armar var i ett stycke med den, allt ett enda hamrat arbete av rent guld. 23 Han gjorde sju lampor till den, likaså lamptänger och brickor till den av rent guld. 24 Av en talent rent guld gjorde han ljusstaken med alla dess tillbehör.
Rökelsealtaret
25 (D) Han gjorde rökelsealtaret av akacieträ. Det var fyrkantigt, en aln långt och en aln brett, och två alnar högt.[c] Hornen gjordes i ett stycke med altaret. 26 Han överdrog det med rent guld, både ovansidan och väggarna runt omkring, likaså hornen. Han gjorde också en kant av guld runt altaret. 27 Två ringar av guld gjorde han till det och satte dem under kanten på två sidor. På två motsatta sidostycken satte han dem som hållare för stänger, så att man kunde bära altaret med dem. 28 Stängerna gjorde han av akacieträ och överdrog dem med guld.
Smörjelseoljan och rökelsen
29 (E) Han gjorde den heliga smörjelseoljan och den rena, väldoftande rökelsen, konstmässigt tillredda.
