1Därefter tillverkade Besalel arken. Den gjordes av akacieträ, 125 centimeter lång och 75 centimeter bred och 75 centimeter hög.2Den var överdragen med rent guld både invändigt och utvändigt och hade en rand av guld runt omkring utmed sidorna.3Fyra ringar av guld sattes fast ovanför arkens fötter, två på varje sida.4Sedan gjorde han stänger av akacieträ och drog över dem med guld5och sköt in dem genom ringarna på arken, så att man kunde bära den.6Sedan gjorde han ett lock av rent guld, "benådningsplatsen". Den var 125 centimeter lång och 75 centimeter bred.7Han gjorde två keruber av hamrat guld och placerade dem vid de båda ändarna av benådningsplatsen.8De var gjorda som en del av locket, allt i ett stycke.9Keruberna hade sina ansikten vända mot varandra och vingarna utbredda så att de övertäckte benådningsplatsen, som de såg ner på.10Han gjorde också ett bord av akacieträ, en meter långt, en halv meter brett och 75 centimeter högt.11Det var överdraget och kantat med guld.12Runt omkring det gjorde han en list, bred som en hand, och runt den en rand av guld.13Och han göt fyra ringar av guld och satte dem i de fyra bordsbenen,14tätt intill listen, så att man skulle kunna bära bordet med stängerna, som sköts in i ringarna.15Stängerna gjordes av akacieträ överdraget med guld. Av rent guld gjorde han sedan kärlen till bordet, faten, skålarna, bägarna och kannorna.
Ljusstaken tillverkas
17Ljusstaken gjorde han också av rent, hamrat guld. Dess fot och stam, armar och mandelblommor var alla gjorda i ett stycke.18Ljusstaken hade sex armar, tre på var sida av stammen.19På varje arm fanns utskurna blommor som prydnad.20På 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.22Dekorationerna och armarna var alla gjorda i ett stycke av rent hamrat guld.23Sedan 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
25Rökelsealtaret 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.26Han drog över det med rent guld och gjorde en guldlist runt omkring det.27Sedan gjorde han två ringar av guld som sattes fast nedanför listen för att hålla bärstängerna.28De var av akacieträ, överdragna med guld.29Av kryddor tillagade han den heliga oljan som prästerna skulle smörjas med och den välluktande rökelsen, alltsammans efter konstens alla regler.

Making the Ark
1Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits* and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.2And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it.3And 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.4And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold5and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.6And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.7And he made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered work on the two ends of the mercy seat,8one 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.9The 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
10He also made the table of acacia wood. Two cubits was its length, a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it.12And he made a rim around it a handbreadth* wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim.13He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs.14Close to the frame were the rings, as holders for the poles to carry the table.15He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold.16And 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
17He 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.18And 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;19three 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.20And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers,21and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it.22Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold.23And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold.24He made it and all its utensils out of a talent* of pure gold.
Making the Altar of Incense
25He 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.26He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And he made a molding of gold around it,27and 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.28And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.29He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant incense, blended as by the perfumer.
