1Betzalel made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half amot long, an amah and a half wide, and an amah and a half high.

2He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and out; and he made a gold molding for it round about.

3He cast four gold rings for it, for its four feet: two rings on one of its side walls and two rings on the other.

6He made a cover of pure gold, two and a half amot long and an amah and a half wide.

7He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work, at the two ends of the cover:

8one cherub at one end and the other cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at its two ends.

9The cherubim had their wings spread out above, shielding the cover with their wings. They faced each other; the faces of the cherubim were turned toward the cover.

10He made the table of acacia wood, two amot long, one amah wide, and an amah and a half high;

16The utensils that were to be upon the table—its bowls, ladles, jugs, and jars with which to offer libations—he made of pure gold.

17He made the menorah of pure gold. He made the menorah—its base and its shaft—of hammered work; its cups, calyxes, and petals were of one piece with it.

18Six branches issued from its sides: three branches from one side of the menorah, and three branches from the other side of the menorah.

19There were three cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on one branch; and there were three cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on the next branch; so for all six branches issuing from the menorah.
