Constructing the Ark

(Exodus 25:10-16)

1And Bezaleel made the ark of acacia-wood; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 2And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a border of gold upon it 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. 4And he made staves of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold. 5And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark. 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. 7And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work did he make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; 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. 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.

The Table of Showbread

(Exodus 25:23-30; Leviticus 24:5-9)

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. 11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made upon it a border of gold 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. 13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were on the four feet thereof. 14Close to the margin were the rings, as receptacles of the staves to carry the table. 15And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. 16And he made the utensils that were on the table, the dishes thereof, and the cups thereof, and the bowls thereof, and the goblets with which to pour out, of pure gold.

The Lampstand

17And he made the candlestick of pure gold; [of] beaten work he made the candlestick: its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers were of itself. 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; 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. 20And in the candlestick were four cups, shaped like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers; 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. 22Their knobs and their branches were of itself -- all of one beaten work of pure gold. 23And he made the seven lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof, and the snuff-trays thereof, of pure gold. 24Of a talent of pure gold he made it, and all its utensils.

The Altar of Incense

(Exodus 30:1-10)

25And he made the altar of incense of acacia-wood; a cubit the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, square, and two cubits the height thereof: its horns were of itself. 26And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and made upon it a border of gold round about. 27And he made two rings of gold for it under its border, by its two corners, on the two sides thereof, as receptacles for the staves with which to carry it. 28And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold. 29And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of fragrant drugs, according to the work of the perfumer.
