Making the Ark of the Testimony

1 And Bezalel ^H1212 made ^H6213 the ark ^H727 of acacia ^H7848 wood ^H6086; its length ^H753 was two and a half ^H2677 [fn]cubits ^H520, and its width ^H7341 one and a half ^H2677 cubits ^H520, and its height ^H6967 one and a half ^H2677 cubits ^H520;

2 and he overlaid ^H6823 it with pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091 inside ^H4480 H1004 and out, and made ^H6213 a gold ^H2091 molding ^H2213 for it all ^H5439 around ^H5439. 3 He cast ^H3332 four ^H702 rings ^H2885 of gold ^H2091 for it on its four ^H702 feet ^H6471; even two ^H8147 rings ^H2885 on one ^H259 side ^H6763 of it, and two ^H8147 rings ^H2885 on the [fn]other ^H8145 side ^H6763 of it. 4 He made ^H6213 poles ^H905 of acacia ^H7848 wood ^H6086 and overlaid ^H6823 them with gold ^H2091. 5 He put ^H935 the poles ^H905 into the rings ^H2885 on the sides ^H6763 of the ark ^H727 to carry ^H5375 [fn]it. 6 He made ^H6213 a [fn]mercy ^H3727 seat ^H3727 of pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091, two and a half ^H2677 [fn]cubits ^H520 [fn]long ^H753 and one and a half ^H2677 cubits ^H520 [fn]wide ^H7341. 7 He made ^H6213 two ^H8147 cherubim ^H3742 of gold ^H2091; he made ^H6213 them of hammered ^H4749 work ^H4749 [fn]at the two ^H8147 ends ^H7098 of the mercy ^H3727 seat ^H3727; 8 one ^H259 cherub ^H3742 [fn]at the one ^H2088 end ^H7098 and one ^H259 cherub ^H3742 [fn]at the other ^H2088 end ^H7098; from one piece he made ^H6213 the mercy ^H3727 seat ^H3727 with the cherubim ^H3742 [fn]at its two ^H8147 ends ^H7098. 9 The cherubim ^H3742 had ^H1961 their wings ^H3671 spread ^H6566 upward ^H4605, covering ^H5526 the mercy ^H3727 seat ^H3727 with their wings ^H3671, with their faces ^H6440 toward ^H413 each ^H376 other ^H251; the faces ^H6440 of the cherubim ^H3742 were toward ^H413 the mercy ^H3727 seat ^H3727.

Making the Table

10 Then he made ^H6213 the table ^H7979 of acacia ^H7848 wood ^H6086, two [fn]cubits ^H520 [fn]long ^H753 and a cubit ^H520 [fn]wide ^H7341 and one and a half ^H2677 cubits ^H520 [fn]high ^H6967.

11 He overlaid ^H6823 it with pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091 and made ^H6213 a gold ^H2091 molding ^H2213 for it all ^H5439 around ^H5439. 12 He made ^H6213 a rim ^H4526 for it of a handbreadth ^H2948 all ^H5439 around ^H5439 and made ^H6213 a gold ^H2091 molding ^H2213 for its rim ^H4526 all ^H5439 around ^H5439. 13 He cast ^H3332 four ^H702 gold ^H2091 rings ^H2885 for it and put ^H5414 the rings ^H2885 on the four ^H702 corners ^H6285 that were on its four ^H702 feet ^H7272. 14 Close ^H5980 to the rim ^H4526 were the rings ^H2885, the holders ^H1004 for the poles ^H905 to carry ^H5375 the table ^H7979. 15 He made ^H6213 the poles ^H905 of acacia ^H7848 wood ^H6086 and overlaid ^H6823 them with gold ^H2091, to carry ^H5375 the table ^H7979. 16 He made ^H6213 the utensils ^H3627 which ^H834 were on the table ^H7979, its [fn]dishes ^H7086 and its pans ^H3709 and its offering ^H4518 bowls ^H4518 and its jars ^H7184, with which ^H834 to pour ^H5258 out ^H5258 drink ^H5258 offerings ^H5258, of pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091.

Making the Lampstand

17 Then he made ^H6213 the lampstand ^H4501 of pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091. He made ^H6213 the lampstand ^H4501 of hammered ^H4749 work ^H4749, its base ^H3409 and its shaft ^H7070; its cups ^H1375, its [fn]bulbs ^H3730, and its flowers ^H6525 were [fn]of the same piece.

18 There were six ^H8337 branches ^H7070 going ^H3318 out ^H3318 of its sides ^H6654; three ^H7969 branches ^H7070 of the lampstand ^H4501 from the one ^H259 side ^H6654 of it and three ^H7969 branches ^H7070 of the lampstand ^H4501 from the [fn]other ^H8145 side ^H6654 of it; 19 three ^H7969 cups ^H1375 shaped ^H8246 like ^H8246 almond ^H8246 blossoms, a [fn]bulb ^H3730 and a flower ^H6525 in one ^H259 branch ^H7070, and three ^H7969 cups ^H1375 shaped ^H8246 like ^H8246 almond ^H8246 blossoms, a [fn]bulb ^H3730 and a flower ^H6525 in the other ^H259 branch ^H7070—so ^H3651 for the six ^H8337 branches ^H7070 coming ^H3318 out ^H3318 of the lampstand ^H4501. 20 In the lampstand ^H4501 there were four ^H702 cups ^H1375 shaped ^H8246 like ^H8246 almond ^H8246 blossoms, its [fn]bulbs ^H3730 and its flowers ^H6525; 21 and a [fn]bulb ^H3730 was under ^H8478 the first pair ^H8147 of branches ^H7070 coming out of it, and a [fn]bulb ^H3730 under ^H8478 the second pair ^H8147 of branches ^H7070 coming out of it, and a [fn]bulb ^H3730 under ^H8478 the third pair ^H8147 of branches ^H7070 coming out of it, for the six ^H8337 branches ^H7070 coming ^H3318 out ^H3318 of the lampstand. 22 Their [fn]bulbs ^H3730 and their branches ^H7070 were of one piece with it; the whole ^H3605 of it was a single ^H259 hammered ^H4749 work ^H4749 of pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091. 23 He made ^H6213 its seven ^H7651 lamps ^H5216 with its tongs ^H4457 and its [fn]trays ^H4289 of pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091. 24 He made ^H6213 it and all ^H3605 its utensils ^H3627 from a [fn]talent ^H3603 of pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091.

Making the Altar of Incense

25 Then he made ^H6213 the altar ^H4196 of incense ^H7004 of acacia ^H7848 wood ^H6086: a cubit ^H520 [fn]long ^H753 and a cubit ^H520 [fn]wide ^H7341, square ^H7251, and two cubits ^H520 [fn]high ^H6967; its horns ^H7161 were of one piece with it.

26 He overlaid ^H6823 it with pure ^H2889 gold ^H2091, its top ^H1406 and its [fn]sides ^H7023 all ^H5439 around ^H5439, and its horns ^H7161; and he made ^H6213 a gold ^H2091 molding ^H2213 for it all ^H5439 around ^H5439. 27 He made ^H6213 two ^H8147 golden ^H2091 rings ^H2885 for it under ^H8478 its molding ^H2213, on its two ^H8147 sides ^H6763—on opposite ^H8147 sides ^H6654—as holders ^H1004 for poles ^H905 with which ^H1992 to carry ^H5375 it. 28 He made ^H6213 the poles ^H905 of acacia ^H7848 wood ^H6086 and overlaid ^H6823 them with gold ^H2091. 29 And he made ^H6213 the holy ^H6944 anointing ^H4888 oil ^H8081 and the pure ^H2889, fragrant ^H5561 incense ^H7004 of spices ^H5561, the work ^H4639 of a perfumer ^H7543.
