1 And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the width of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:2 and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a crown of gold to it round about.3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, in the four feet of it; even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.4 And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.5 And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.6 And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [was] its length, and a cubit and a half its width.7 And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work he made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;8 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat he made the cherubim at the two ends of it.9 And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.10 And he made the table of acacia wood: two cubits [was] its length, and a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height:11 and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about.12 And he made to it a border of a handbreadth round about, and made a golden crown to its border round about.13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were on the four feet of it.14 Close by the border were the rings, the places for the poles to bear the table.15 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.16 And he made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, and its spoons, and its bowls, and its flagons, with which to pour out, of pure gold.17 And he made the lampstand of pure gold: of beaten work he made the lampstand, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, it knops, and its flowers, were of one piece with it:18 and there were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand out of the one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it:19 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower, and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.20 And in the lampstand were four cups made like almond-blossoms, its knops, and its flowers;21 and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.22 Their knops and their branches were of one piece with it: the whole of it was one beaten work of pure gold.23 And he made its lamps, seven, and its snuffers, and its snuffdishes, of pure gold.24 Of a talent of pure gold he made it, and all its vessels.25 And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was its length, and a cubit its width, foursquare; and two cubits was its height; its horns were of one piece with it.26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and the horns of it: and he made to it a crown of gold round about.27 And he made for it two golden rings under its crown, on the two ribs of it, on the two sides of it, for places for poles with which to bear it.28 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.

1 Bezalel fez a arca com madeira de acácia, com um metro e dez centímetros de comprimento, setenta centímetros de largura e setenta centímetros de altura.2 Revestiu-a de ouro puro, por dentro e por fora, e fez uma moldura de ouro ao seu redor.3 Fundiu quatro argolas de ouro para ela, prendendo-as a seus quatro pés, com duas argolas de um lado e duas do outro.4 Depois fez varas de madeira de acácia e revestiu-as de ouro5 e colocou-as nas argolas laterais da arca para que pudesse ser carregada.6 Fez a tampa de ouro puro com um metro e dez centímetros de comprimento por setenta centímetros de largura.7 Fez também dois querubins de ouro batido nas extremidades da tampa.8 Fez ainda um querubim numa extremidade e o segundo na outra, formando uma só peça com a tampa.9 Os querubins tinham as asas estendidas para cima, cobrindo com elas a tampa. Estavam de frente um para o outro, com o rosto voltado para a tampa.10 Fez a mesa com madeira de acácia com noventa centímetros de comprimento, quarenta e cinco centímetros de largura e setenta centímetros de altura.11 Revestiu-a de ouro puro e fez uma moldura de ouro ao seu redor.12 Fez também ao seu redor uma borda com a largura de quatro dedos e uma moldura de ouro para essa borda.13 Fundiu quatro argolas de ouro para a mesa e prendeu-as nos quatro cantos, onde estavam os seus quatro pés.14 As argolas foram presas próximas da borda, para que sustentassem as varas usadas para carregar a mesa.15 Fez as varas para carregar a mesa de madeira de acácia, revestidas de ouro.16 E de ouro puro fez os utensílios para a mesa: seus pratos e recipientes para incenso, tigelas e as bacias nas quais se derramam as ofertas de bebidas.17 Fez o candelabro de ouro puro e batido. O pedestal, a haste, as taças, as flores e os botões formavam com ele uma só peça.18 Seis braços saíam do candelabro: três de um lado e três do outro.19 Havia três taças com formato de flor de amêndoa, num dos braços, cada uma com botão e flor, e três taças com formato de flor de amêndoa no braço seguinte, cada uma com botão e flor. Assim será com os seis braços que saem do candelabro.20 Na haste do candelabro havia quatro taças com formato de flor de amêndoa, cada uma com flor e botão.21 Havia um botão debaixo de cada par dos seis braços que saíam do candelabro.22 Os braços com seus botões formavam uma só peça com o candelabro, tudo feito de ouro puro e batido.23 Fez de ouro puro suas sete lâmpadas, seus cortadores de pavio e seus apagadores.24 Com trinta e cinco quilos de ouro puro fez o candelabro com seus botões e todos esses utensílios.25 Fez ainda o altar de incenso de madeira de acácia. Era quadrado, com quarenta e cinco centímetros de cada lado e noventa centímetros de altura; suas pontas formavam com ele uma só peça.26 Revestiu de ouro puro a parte superior, todos os lados e as pontas, e fez uma moldura de ouro ao seu redor.27 Fez também duas argolas de ouro de cada lado do altar, abaixo da moldura, para sustentar as varas utilizadas para carregá-lo,28 e usou madeira de acácia para fazer as varas e revestiu-as de ouro.29 Fez ainda o óleo sagrado para as unções e o incenso puro e aromático, obra de perfumista.
