Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
He cast four gold rings for it, for its four feet: two rings on one side and two rings on the other.
He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold,
and he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, for carrying it.
He made the mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
He made two cherubim of gold, hammered out of one piece, at the two ends of the mercy seat:
one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.
The cherubim spread their wings upward, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, facing each other; the faces of the cherubim were turned toward the mercy seat.
He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
He cast four gold rings for it and fastened the rings at the four corners, where its four legs were.
The rings were set close to the rim, as holders for the poles used to carry the table.
He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, for carrying the table.
He made the vessels that were to be on the table—its plates and dishes, its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings—all of pure gold.
He made the lampstand of pure gold. He hammered out the lampstand—its base and shaft, its cups, buds, and blossoms—of one piece with it.
Six branches extended from its sides: three branches of the lampstand from one side and three from the other.
Three cups shaped like almond blossoms, with bud and blossom, were on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, with bud and blossom, on the next—so for all six branches extending from the lampstand.
On the lampstand itself were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with their buds and blossoms.
A bud was under the first pair of branches extending from it, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair—for all six branches extending from it.
The buds and the branches were of one piece with it, the whole of it a single hammered work of pure gold.
He made its seven lamps, along with its tongs and trays, of pure gold.
He made the altar of incense of acacia wood, a cubit long and a cubit wide—square—and two cubits high, with its horns of one piece with it.
He overlaid it with pure gold—its top, its sides all around, and its horns—and made a gold molding around it.
He made two gold rings for it beneath the molding, on its two sides, on opposite sides of it, as holders for the poles used to carry it.
He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense, blended like the work of a perfumer.
