1 Em seguida, Bezalel fez uma arca de madeira de acácia, com 1,15 metro de comprimento, 67,5 centímetros de largura e 67,5 centímetros de altura.*37.1 Em hebraico, 2,5 côvados de comprimento, 1,5 côvado de largura e 1,5 côvado de altura. 2 Revestiu-a com ouro puro por dentro e por fora e fez uma moldura de ouro ao seu redor. 3 Mandou fundir quatro argolas de ouro e prendeu-as aos quatro pés da arca, duas argolas de cada lado. 4 Fez varas de madeira de acácia e revestiu-as com ouro. 5 Passou-as por dentro das argolas dos lados da arca para transportá-la.

6 Fez ainda a tampa da arca, o lugar de expiação, de ouro puro. Media 1,15 metro de comprimento e 67,5 centímetros de largura.*37.6 Em hebraico, 2,5 côvados de comprimento e 1,5 côvado de largura. 7 Fez dois querubins de ouro batido e colocou um em cada extremidade da tampa. 8 Modelou o querubim em cada extremidade da tampa de modo a formar uma só peça de ouro com a tampa. 9 Os querubins ficavam de frente um para o outro, com o rosto voltado para a tampa da arca. Estendiam suas asas sobre a tampa para cobri-la.

10 Bezalel*37.10a Em hebraico, ele; também em 37.17,25. fez a mesa de madeira de acácia com 90 centímetros de comprimento, 45 centímetros de largura e 67,5 centímetros de altura.*37.10b Em hebraico, 2 côvados de comprimento, 1 côvado de largura e 1,5 côvado de altura. 11 Revestiu-a com ouro puro e colocou uma moldura de ouro ao seu redor. 12 Enfeitou-a com uma borda de 8 centímetros de largura*37.12 Em hebraico, 4 dedos de largura. e com uma moldura de ouro ao redor da borda. 13 Fez quatro argolas de ouro para a mesa e prendeu-as aos quatro cantos, junto aos quatro pés. 14 Prendeu as argolas junto da borda para sustentar as varas usadas para transportar a mesa. 15 Fez essas varas de madeira de acácia e revestiu-as com ouro. 16 Fez ainda recipientes especiais de ouro puro para a mesa: tigelas, colheres, vasilhas e jarras para as ofertas derramadas.

17 Bezalel fez um candelabro de ouro puro batido. Todo o candelabro e seus enfeites formavam uma só peça: a base, a haste central, as lâmpadas, os botões e as flores. 18 Da haste central saíam seis ramos, três de cada lado. 19 Cada um dos seis ramos tinha três lâmpadas em forma de flor de amendoeira, com botões e flores. 20 A haste central do candelabro tinha quatro lâmpadas em forma de flor de amendoeira, cada uma com botões e flores. 21 Havia um botão de amendoeira debaixo de cada par dos seis ramos que saíam da haste central. 22 Os botões de amendoeira e os ramos formavam uma só peça com a haste central e eram feitos de ouro puro batido.

23 Fez também sete lâmpadas para o candelabro, cortadores de pavio e apagadores, todos de ouro puro. 24 Foram necessários 35 quilos*37.24 Em hebraico, 1 talento. de ouro puro para o candelabro e seus acessórios.

25 Depois, Bezalel usou madeira de acácia para construir o altar de incenso. Ele o fez quadrado, com 45 centímetros de lado e 90 centímetros de altura,*37.25 Em hebraico, 1 côvado de comprimento e 1 côvado de largura, um quadrado, e 2 côvados de altura. com pontas em forma de chifre nos cantos entalhados da mesma peça de madeira que o altar. 26 Revestiu o topo, os lados e as pontas do altar com ouro puro e fez uma moldura de ouro ao seu redor. 27 Fez duas argolas de ouro e prendeu-as nos lados opostos do altar, debaixo da moldura de ouro, para sustentar as varas usadas para transportá-lo. 28 Fez as varas de madeira de acácia e revestiu-as com ouro.

29 Em seguida, preparou o óleo sagrado da unção e o incenso perfumado usando as técnicas de um perfumista.

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 cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;*37.7 on…: or, out of, etc 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.*37.8 on the end: or, out of, etc*37.8 on the other end: or, out of, etc 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.*37.16 to cover…: or, to pour out withal

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.
