1And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;

1And Beseleel made also, the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without.

2And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a border of gold upon it round about.

2Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.

2And he made to it a crown of gold round about,

3And he cast for it four rings of gold, for its four corners: two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

3And he made four gold rings for its four angles, two on one side and two on the other,

3Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.

4And he made staves of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold.

4And rods of the same wood plated with gold.

4And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,

5And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark.

5These rods he put in the rings at the sides of the ark, for lifting it.

5And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.

6— And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

6And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

6He made also the propitiatory, that is, the oracle, of the purest gold, two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth.

7And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work did he make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

7And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;

7Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:

8one cherub at the end of one side, and one cherub at the end of the other side; out of the mercy-seat he made the two cherubim at the two ends thereof.

8Placing one at one end and one at the other; the winged ones were part of the cover.

8One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,

9And the cherubim spread out [their] wings over it, covering over with their wings the mercy-seat; and their faces were opposite to one another: the faces of the cherubim were [turned] toward the mercy-seat.

9And their wings were stretched out over the cover; the faces of the winged ones were opposite one another and facing the cover.

9Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.

10And he made the table of acacia-wood; two cubits the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

10He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half.

11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made upon it a border of gold round about.

11Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.

11And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about,

12And he made for it a margin of a hand-breadth round about; and made a border of gold for the margin thereof round about.

12And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.

12And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.

13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were on the four feet thereof.

13And he made four gold rings, and put the rings at the angles of its four feet.

13And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,

14Close to the margin were the rings, as receptacles of the staves to carry the table.

14The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.

14Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.

17He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold. from the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out:

18And six branches went 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;

18It had six branches coming out from its sides, three from one side and three from the other;

18Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.

19[there were] three cups shaped like almonds in the one branch, a knob and a flower; and three cups shaped like almonds in the other branch, a knob and a flower: so in the six branches which went out of the candlestick.

19Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;

19Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies: and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches, that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.

20And in the candlestick were four cups, shaped like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers;

20And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;

20And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:

21and a knob under two branches thereof, and [again] a knob under two branches thereof, and [again] a knob under two branches thereof, for the six branches which went out of it.

21And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.

21And bowls under two branches in three places, which together made six branches going out from one shaft.
