New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 And Bezaleel maketh the ark of shittim wood, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;
|
1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood--two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
|
|
2 and he overlayeth it with pure gold within and without, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;
|
2 He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
|
|
3 and he casteth for it four rings of gold, on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
|
3 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.
|
|
4 and he maketh staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold,
|
4 Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
|
|
5 and he bringeth in the staves into the rings, by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
|
5 And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.
|
|
6 And he maketh a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;
|
6 He made the atonement cover of pure gold--two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
|
|
7 and he maketh two cherubs of gold, of beaten work he hath made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;
|
7 Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
|
|
8 one cherub at the end on this [side], and one cherub at the end on that, out of the mercy-seat he hath made the cherubs, at its two ends;
|
8 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.
|
|
9 and the cherubs are spreading out wings on high, covering over the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another; towards the mercy-seat have the faces of the cherubs been.
|
9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
|
|
10 And he maketh the table of shittim wood; two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,
|
10 They made the table of acacia wood--two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
|
|
11 and overlayeth it with pure gold, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about.
|
11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
|
|
12 And he maketh for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and maketh a wreath of gold for its border round about;
|
12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
|
|
13 and he casteth for it four rings of gold, and putteth the rings on the four corners which [are] to its four feet;
|
13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.
|
|
14 over-against the border have the rings been, places for staves to bear the table.
|
14 The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.
|
|
15 And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold, to bear the table;
|
15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold.
|
|
16 and he maketh the vessels which [are] upon the table, its dishes, and its bowls, and its cups, and the cups by which they pour out, of pure 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.
|
|
17 And he maketh the candlestick of pure gold; of beaten work he hath made the candlestick, its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers, have been of the same;
|
17 They made the lampstand of pure gold and hammered it out, base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms were of one piece with it.
|
|
18 and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of its one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of its second side;
|
18 Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand--three on one side and three on the other.
|
|
19 three calyxes, made like almonds, in the one branch, a knop and a flower; and three calyxes, made like almonds, in another branch, a knop and a flower; so to the six branches which are coming out of the candlestick.
|
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 in the candlestick [are] four calyxes, made like almonds, its knops, and its flowers,
|
20 And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.
|
|
21 and a knop under the two branches of the same, and a knop under the two branches of the same, and a knop under the two branches of the same, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of it;
|
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 their knops and their branches have been of the same; all of it one beaten work of pure gold.
|
22 The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
|
|
23 And he maketh its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold;
|
23 They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold.
|
|
24 of a talent of pure gold he hath made it, and all its vessels.
|
24 They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold.
|
|
25 And he maketh the perfume-altar of shittim wood; a cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth (square), and two cubits its height; its horns have been of the same;
|
25 They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high--its horns of one piece with it.
|
|
26 and he overlayeth it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about, and its horns; and he maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;
|
26 They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.
|
|
27 and two rings of gold he hath made for it under its wreath, at its two corners, at its two sides, for places for staves to bear it with them.
|
27 They made two gold rings below the molding--two on opposite sides--to hold the poles used to carry it.
|
|
28 And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold;
|
28 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
|
|
29 and he maketh the holy anointing oil, and the pure spice-perfume -- work of a compounder.
|
29 They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense--the work of a perfumer.
