37:1  Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood, forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.
37:2  He overlaid it with pure gold inside and out and made a gold molding all around it.
37:3  He cast four gold rings for it, for its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.
37:4  He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
37:5  He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark for carrying the ark.
37:6  He made a mercy seat of pure gold, forty-five inches long and twenty-seven inches wide.
37:7  He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat,
37:8  one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end. At each end, he made a cherub of one piece with the mercy seat.
37:9  They had wings spread out. They faced each other and covered the mercy seat with their wings. The faces of the cherubim were looking toward the mercy seat.
37:10  He constructed the table of acacia wood, thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.
37:11  He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding all around it.
37:12  He made a three-inch frame all around it and made a gold molding all around its frame.
37:13  He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings to the four corners at its four legs.
37:14  The rings were next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.
37:15  He made the poles for carrying the table from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
37:16  He also made the utensils that would be on the table out of pure gold: its plates and cups, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.
37:17  Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold. He made it all of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its buds and petals.
37:18  Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side.
37:19  There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on the next branch. It was this way for the six branches that extended from the lampstand.
37:20  There were four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand shaft along with its buds and petals.
37:21  For the six branches that extended from it, a bud was under the first pair of branches from it, a bud under the second pair of branches from it, and a bud under the third pair of branches from it.
37:22  Their buds and branches were of one piece with it. All of it was a single hammered piece of pure gold.
37:23  He also made its seven lamps, snuffers, and firepans of pure gold.
37:24  He made it and all its utensils of seventy-five pounds of pure gold.
37:25  He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, eighteen inches long and eighteen inches wide; it was thirty-six inches high. Its horns were of one piece with it.
37:26  He overlaid it, its top, all around its sides, and its horns with pure gold. Then he made a gold molding all around it.
37:27  He made two gold rings for it under the molding on two of its sides; he put these on opposite sides of it to be holders for the poles to carry it with.
37:28  He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
37:29  He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant, and expertly blended incense.
