37 Then Bezalel made the sacred chest from acacia wood. He made it 125 centimeters long, 75 centimeters wide, and 75 centimeters high. 2 He covered the chest with pure gold inside and outside and made a gold molding for all around it. 3 He made four rings from gold and fastened them to the four legs of the chest. He put two of the rings on each side of the chest. 4 He made two poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold. 5 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest so that the Levites could carry it. 6 He made a lid for the chest from pure gold. It was 125 centimeters long and 75 centimeters wide. 7 He hammered a large lump of gold into the form of two creatures that have wings for the two ends of the lid. 8 He made the winged creatures from the gold from each end of the sacred chest’s lid, one at one end and the other at the other end. 9 The creature’s wings spread out and reached up to cover the lid. They faced each other, facing the chest’s lid that was between them.

10 He made a table from acacia wood. It was one meter long, one-half of a meter wide, and three-quarters of a meter high. 11 He covered the table with pure gold and put a gold molding all around it. 12 He made a rim all around it, eight centimeters wide, and made a gold molding around the rim. 13 He molded four rings from gold. He fastened them to the four corners of the table. Each ring was close to each table leg 14 near the rim. They held poles for carrying the table. 15 He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. They were for carrying the table. 16 He made all the utensils for the table from pure gold—dishes, cups, bowls, and jars for the priests to use to pour out wine to offer to Yahweh. 17 He made the lampstand from pure gold. He hammered one large lump of gold to make its base and its shaft. He made the cups, with the flower buds and petals that decorate them, from that same lump. 18 There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side of the shaft. 19 Each branch had three gold cups that looked like almond flowers on it. The flowers had buds and petals. It was the same for all six branches of the lampstand. 20 On the shaft of the lampstand there were four cups that also looked like almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and petals. 21 He made one flower bud beneath every two branches. He attached it to each pair of branches as if they were growing from it. He made all six lampstand branches like this. 22 He hammered all these buds and branches, along with the shaft, from one large lump of pure gold. 23 He made from pure gold: seven lamps, tongs to remove the burned wicks, and trays in which to put the burned wicks. 24 He used 33 kilograms of pure gold to make the lampstand, the tongs, and the trays.

25 He made the altar for burning incense from acacia wood. It was square, one-half meter on each side and one meter high. There were projections that looked like horns on the same block of wood as the altar. 26 He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold molding all around it. 27 He made two gold rings and attached them to the altar below the molding, one on each side of the altar. These rings were to hold the poles for carrying the altar. 28 He made those two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. 29 He made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. A perfumer mixed the incense together.
