And Bezaleel made the ark of sethim wood two cubits and an half long
and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high: and overlaid
it with fine gold both within and without, and made a crown of gold to
it round about, and cast for it four rings of gold for the four corners
of it: two rings for the one side and two for the other, and made
staves of Sethim wood, and covered them with gold, and put the staves
in the rings along by the side of the ark to bear it withal. And he
made the mercyseat of pure gold two cubits and a half long and one
cubit and a half broad, and made two Cherubins of thick gold upon the
two ends of the mercy seat: One Cherub on the one end, and another
Cherub on the other end of the mercyseat. And the Cherubins spread out
their wings above on high, {an hye} and covered the mercyseat
therewith. And their faces were one to another: even to the mercyseat
ward, were the faces of the Cherubins. And he made the table of sethim
wood two cubits long and a cubit broad, and a cubit and an half high,
and overlaid it with fine gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round
about, and made thereto an hoop of an hand breadth round about, and
made unto the hoop a crown of gold round about, and cast for it four
rings of gold and put the rings in the four corners by the feet: even
under the hoop to put staves in to bear the table withal. And he made
staves of Sethim wood and covered them with gold to bear the table
withal, and made the vessels that were on the table of pure gold, the
dishes, spoons, flat pieces and pots to pour withal. And he made the
candlestick of pure thick gold: both the candlestick and his shaft:
with branches, bowls, knops and flowers proceeding out of it. Six
branches proceeding out of the sides thereof, three out of the one side
and three out of the other. And on every branch were three cups like
unto almonds, with knops and flowers thorowout the six branches that
proceeded out of the candlestick. And upon the candlestick self, were
four cups after the fashion of almonds with knops and flowers: under
every two branches a knop. And the knops and the branches proceeded out
of it, and were all one piece of pure thick gold. And he made seven
lamps thereto, and the snuffers thereof, and firepans of pure gold. An
hundred weight of pure gold, made both it and all that belonged
thereto. And he made the cense altar of Sethim wood of a cubit long and
a cubit broad: even four square, and two cubits high with horns
proceeding out of it. And he covered it with pure gold both the top and
the sides round about and the horns of it, and made unto it a crown of
gold round about. And he made two rings of gold unto it, even under the
crown upon either side of it, to put staves in for to bear it withal:
and made staves of Sethim wood, and overlaid them with gold. And he
made the holy anointing oil and the sweet pure incense after the
apothecary's craft.
