37 Ginawa ni Bezaleel ang kaban na yari sa kahoy na akasya; dalawang siko at kalahati ang haba niyon, at isang siko't kalahati ang luwang at may isang siko at kalahati ang taas niyon.

Kanyang binalot iyon ng lantay na ginto sa loob at sa labas, at iginawa ng isang moldeng ginto sa palibot.

Naghulma siya para dito ng apat na argolyang ginto, sa apat na sulok niyon; dalawang argolya sa isang tagiliran, at dalawang argolya sa kabilang tagiliran.

Siya'y gumawa ng mga pasanang kahoy na akasya, at binalutan ang mga ito ng ginto.

Isinuot niya ang mga pasanan sa mga argolya, sa mga tagiliran ng kaban, upang mabuhat ang kaban.

Gumawa rin siya ng isang luklukan ng awa na lantay na ginto na dalawang siko at kalahati ang haba, at isang siko at kalahati ang luwang.

Siya'y gumawa ng dalawang kerubing yari sa pinitpit na ginto; sa dalawang dulo ng luklukan ng awa niya ginawa ang mga ito,

isang kerubin sa isang dulo, at isang kerubin sa kabilang dulo; na kaisang piraso ng luklukan ng awa ginawa niya ang mga kerubin sa dalawang dulo.

Ibinubuka ng mga kerubin ang kanilang mga pakpak paitaas, na nalililiman ng kanilang mga pakpak ang luklukan ng awa, magkakaharap ang kanilang mga mukha; nakaharap sa dakong luklukan ng awa ang mga mukha ng mga kerubin.

Ang Paggawa ng Hapag(A)

10 Ginawa rin niya ang hapag na yari sa kahoy na akasya, na dalawang siko ang haba at isang siko ang luwang at isang siko at kalahati ang taas niyon.

11 Binalot niya iyon ng lantay na ginto, at iginawa niya ng isang moldeng ginto sa palibot.

12 Iginawa niya iyon ng isang gilid na isang dangkal ang luwang sa palibot, at iginawa ng isang moldeng ginto ang gilid sa palibot.

13 Naghulma siya para doon ng apat na argolyang ginto at inilagay ang mga argolya sa apat na sulok na ukol sa apat na paa niyon.

14 Malapit sa gilid ang mga argolya, na daraanan ng mga pasanan upang mabuhat ang hapag.

15 Ginawa niya ang mga pasanang kahoy na akasya at binalot ng ginto, upang mabuhat ang hapag.

16 At ginawa niyang lantay na ginto ang mga kasangkapang nasa ibabaw ng hapag, ang mga pinggan niyon at ang mga kutsaron niyon, at ang mga tasa niyon, at ang mga kopa niyon na ginagamit sa inuming handog.

Ang Paggawa ng Ilawan(B)

17 Kanya ring ginawa ang ilawan na lantay na ginto. Ang patungan at ang haligi ng ilawan ay ginawa sa pinitpit na metal; ang mga kopa niyon, ang mga usbong, at ang mga bulaklak niyon ay iisang piraso.

18 May anim na sangang lumalabas sa mga tagiliran niyon; ang tatlong sanga ng ilawan ay sa isang tagiliran, at ang tatlong sanga ng ilawan ay sa kabilang tagiliran;

19 tatlong kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro sa isang sanga, isang usbong at bulaklak; at tatlong kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro sa kabilang sanga, isang usbong at isang bulaklak—gayon nga sa anim na sangang lumalabas sa ilawan.

20 At sa ilawan mismo ay may apat na kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro, kasama ang mga usbong niyon, at ng mga bulaklak niyon,

21 at isang usbong na kakabit niyon sa ilalim ng bawat pares na sanga na lumalabas doon.

22 Ang mga usbong at ang mga sanga ay iisang piraso ng ilawan; ang kabuuan nito ay isang piraso na yari sa pinitpit na lantay na ginto.

23 Kanyang ginawa ang pitong ilawan niyon, at ang mga sipit at ang mga pinggan niyon, na lantay na ginto.

24 Ginawa niya iyon at ang lahat ng mga kasangkapan niyon mula sa isang talentong lantay na ginto.

Ang Paggawa ng Dambana ng Insenso(C)

25 At kanyang ginawa ang dambana ng insenso na yari sa kahoy na akasya; isang siko ang haba at isang siko ang luwang niyon; parisukat iyon, at dalawang siko ang taas; ang mga sungay niyon ay kaisang piraso niyon.

26 Kanyang binalot iyon ng lantay na ginto, ang ibabaw niyon, at ang mga tagiliran niyon sa palibot, ang mga sungay niyon at kanyang iginawa ng isang moldeng ginto sa palibot.

27 Iginawa niya iyon ng dalawang gintong argolya sa ilalim ng molde, sa dakong itaas ng dalawang panig, sa ibabaw ng dalawang panig, na pagsusuotan ng mga pasanan upang mabuhat.

28 Gumawa siya ng mga pasanang kahoy na akasya, at binalot ang mga ito ng ginto.

29 Ginawa(D) rin niya ang banal na langis na pambuhos, at ang purong mabangong insenso ayon sa timpla ng manggagawa ng pabango.

The Ark(A)

37 Bezalel(B) made the ark(C) of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.[a] He overlaid it with pure gold,(D) both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it. He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

He made the atonement cover(E) of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. Then he made two cherubim(F) out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing(G) the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.(H)

The Table(I)

10 They[b] made the table(J) of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.[c] 11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold(K) and made a gold molding around it. 12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth[d] wide and put a gold molding on the rim. 13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14 The rings(L) were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16 And they made from pure gold the articles for the table—its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.

The Lampstand(M)

17 They made the lampstand(N) of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 18 Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 19 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 20 And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 21 One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. 22 The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.(O)

23 They made its seven lamps,(P) as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. 24 They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent[e] of pure gold.

The Altar of Incense(Q)

25 They made the altar of incense(R) out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high[f]—its horns(S) of one piece with it. 26 They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. 27 They made two gold rings(T) below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it. 28 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.(U)

29 They also made the sacred anointing oil(V) and the pure, fragrant incense(W)—the work of a perfumer.

Making the Ark of the Testimony(A)

37 Then (B)Bezalel made (C)the ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits was its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it. And he cast for it four rings of gold to be set in its four corners: two rings on one side, and two rings on the other side of it. He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. He also made the (D)mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits was its length and a cubit and a half its width. He made two cherubim of beaten gold; he made them of one piece at the two ends of the mercy seat: one cherub at one end on this side, and the other cherub at the other end on that side. He made the cherubim at the two ends of one piece with the mercy seat. The cherubim spread out their wings above, and covered the (E)mercy seat with their wings. They faced one another; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

Making the Table for the Showbread(F)

10 He made (G)the table of acacia wood; two cubits was its length, a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold all around it. 12 Also he made a frame of a handbreadth all around it, and made a molding of gold for the frame all around it. 13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs. 14 The rings were close to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table. 15 And he made the poles of acacia wood to bear the table, and overlaid them with gold. 16 He made of pure gold the utensils which were on the table: its (H)dishes, its cups, its bowls, and its pitchers for pouring.

Making the Gold Lampstand(I)

17 He also made the (J)lampstand of pure gold; of hammered work he made the lampstand. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and its flowers were of the same piece. 18 And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. 19 There were three bowls made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower—and so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 20 And on the lampstand itself were four bowls made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower. 21 There was a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches extending from it. 22 Their knobs and their branches were of one piece; all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold. 23 And he made its seven lamps, its (K)wick-trimmers, and its trays of pure gold. 24 Of a talent of pure gold he made it, with all its utensils.

Making the Altar of Incense(L)

25 (M)He made the incense altar of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit and its width a cubit—it was square—and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it. 26 And he overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides all around, and its horns. He also made for it a molding of gold all around it. 27 He made two rings of gold for it under its molding, by its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to bear it. 28 And he (N)made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.

Making the Anointing Oil and the Incense(O)

29 He also made (P)the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer.
