Chapter 37
|
1
|
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 cherubim 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 cherubim on the two ends thereof. |
9
|
And the cherubim 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 cherubim. |
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. |
