- Kapitel 37 -

(Exodus 25:10–16)
1
And 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.
2
And he made to it a crown of gold round about,
3
Casting four rings of gold at the four corners thereof: two rings in one side, and two in the other.
4
And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold,
5
And he put them into the rings that were at the sides of the ark to carry it.

The Mercy Seat

(Exodus 25:17–22)
6
He 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.
7
Two cherubims also of beaten gold, which he set on the two sides of the propitiatory:
8
One 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,
9
Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.

The Table of Showbread

(Exodus 25:23–30; Leviticus 24:5–9)
10
He 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.
11
And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about.
12
And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers’ breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.
13
And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,
14
Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.
15
And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold,
16
And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered.

The Lampstand

(Exodus 25:31–40; Numbers 8:1–4)
17
He 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:
18
Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.
19
Three 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.
20
And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:
21
And bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six branches going out from one shaft.
22
So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.
23
He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.
24
The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.

The Altar of Incense

(Exodus 30:1–10)
25
He made also the altar of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns.
26
And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate and the sides, and the horns.
27
And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried.
28
And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold.
29
He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.
(Exodus 25:10–16)
1
Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits,(a) and its width a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height.
2
He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold for it around it.
3
He cast four rings of gold for it in its four feet—two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.
4
He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
5
He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

6

7
He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat:
8
one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.
9
The cherubim spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

14
The rings were close by the border, the places for the poles to carry the table.
15
He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.

18
There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side:
19
three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand.
20
In the lamp stand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;
21
and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.
