Arken tillverkas

1 Därefter tillverkade Besalel arken. Den gjordes av akacieträ, 125 centimeter lång och 75 centimeter bred och 75 centimeter hög. 2 Den var överdragen med rent guld både invändigt och utvändigt och hade en rand av guld runt omkring utmed sidorna. 3 Fyra ringar av guld sattes fast ovanför arkens fötter, två på varje sida. 4 Sedan gjorde han stänger av akacieträ och drog över dem med guld 5 och sköt in dem genom ringarna på arken, så att man kunde bära den. 6 Sedan gjorde han ett lock av rent guld, "benådningsplatsen". Den var 125 centimeter lång och 75 centimeter bred. 7 Han gjorde två keruber av hamrat guld och placerade dem vid de båda ändarna av benådningsplatsen. 8 De var gjorda som en del av locket, allt i ett stycke. 9 Keruberna hade sina ansikten vända mot varandra och vingarna utbredda så att de övertäckte benådningsplatsen, som de såg ner på. 10 Han gjorde också ett bord av akacieträ, en meter långt, en halv meter brett och 75 centimeter högt. 11 Det var överdraget och kantat med guld. 12 Runt omkring det gjorde han en list, bred som en hand, och runt den en rand av guld. 13 Och han göt fyra ringar av guld och satte dem i de fyra bordsbenen, 14 tätt intill listen, så att man skulle kunna bära bordet med stängerna, som sköts in i ringarna. 15-16 Stängerna gjordes av akacieträ överdraget med guld. Av rent guld gjorde han sedan kärlen till bordet, faten, skålarna, bägarna och kannorna.

Ljusstaken tillverkas

17 Ljusstaken gjorde han också av rent, hamrat guld. Dess fot och stam, armar och mandelblommor var alla gjorda i ett stycke. 18 Ljusstaken hade sex armar, tre på var sida av stammen. 19 På varje arm fanns utskurna blommor som prydnad. 20-21 På mittstammen fanns liknande dekorationer med mandelträdsblommor, en blomma under varje armpar som gick ut från stammen och dessutom en ovanför det översta paret, tillsammans fyra stycken. 22 Dekorationerna och armarna var alla gjorda i ett stycke av rent hamrat guld. 23-24 Sedan gjorde han sju oljelampor till den och tänger och brickor till dessa, allt av rent guld. Hela ljusstaken vägde femtio kilo, och allt var av renaste guld.

Rökelsealtaret tillverkas

25 Rökelsealtaret gjordes av akacieträ. Det var en halv meter i fyrkant och en meter högt, och dess horn var gjorda i ett stycke med själva altaret. 26 Han drog över det med rent guld och gjorde en guldlist runt omkring det. 27 Sedan gjorde han två ringar av guld som sattes fast nedanför listen för att hålla bärstängerna. 28 De var av akacieträ, överdragna med guld. 29 Av kryddor tillagade han den heliga oljan som prästerna skulle smörjas med och den välluktande rökelsen, alltsammans efter konstens alla regler.

English Standard Version

Making the Ark

1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits^[1] and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. (2 Mos 25:10) 2 And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. (2 Mos 25:12) 4 And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold 5 and put the poles 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 was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. 7 And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat, 8 one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends. 9 The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.

Making the Table

10 He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. (2 Mos 25:23) 11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it. 12 And he made a rim around it a handbreadth^[2] wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim. 13 He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs. 14 Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table. 15 He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold. 16 And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour drink offerings.

Making the Lampstand

17 He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work. Its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were of one piece with it. (2 Mos 25:31) 18 And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it; 19 three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. 20 And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers, 21 and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it. 22 Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold. 23 And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold. 24 He made it and all its utensils out of a talent^[3] of pure gold.

Making the Altar of Incense

25 He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit, and its breadth was a cubit. It was square, and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it. (2 Mos 30:1) 26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around it, 27 and made two rings of gold on it under its molding, on two opposite sides of it, as holders for the poles with which to carry it. 28 And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 29 He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer. (2 Mos 30:7; 2 Mos 30:23; 2 Mos 30:34)
