Éxodo 37:22-29

22 Sus manzanas y sus brazos eran de lo mismo; todo era una pieza labrada á martillo, de oro puro.

23 Hizo asimismo sus siete candilejas, y sus despabiladeras, y sus platillos, de oro puro;

24 De un talento de oro puro lo hizo, con todos sus vasos.

25 Hizo también el altar del perfume de madera de Sittim: un codo su longitud, y otro codo su anchura, era cuadrado; y su altura de dos codos; y sus cuernos de la misma pieza.

26 Y cubriólo de oro puro, su mesa y sus paredes alrededor, y sus cuernos: é hízole una corona de oro alrededor.

27 Hízole también dos anillos de oro debajo de la corona en las dos esquinas á los dos lados, para pasar por ellos las varas con que había de ser conducido.

28 E hizo las varas de madera de Sittim, y cubriólas de oro.

29 Hizo asimismo el aceite santo de la unción, y el fino perfume aromático, de obra de perfumador.

Éxodo 37:22-29 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 37

This chapter continues the account of the making of the tabernacle, and the furniture of it, particularly the ark, mercy seat, and cherubim, Ex 37:1-9 the shewbread table, and what appertained to that, Ex 37:10-16 the candlestick, and all the vessels of it, Ex 37:17-24 and the altar of incense, together with the anointing oil, and pure incense, Ex 37:25-29.

because he gave his mind to this work more than the rest of the wise men, it is called by his name. It is a notion of some Jewish writers that the ark was made by Bezaleel, without the help of others; but there is no sufficient reason to be given for it; for other things are equally ascribed to him in this and the following chapter, as the mercy seat with the cherubim, the shewbread table, the candlestick of pure gold, the two altars, the laver of brass, with other things, which are only said to be made by him, because they were made by his direction, and he having the oversight of them while making; wherefore Aben Ezra observes, that this is particularly said for the glory of the ark. Of the ark, and all other things mentioned in this chapter, \\see Gill on "Ex 25:1"\\ &c. to end of chapter, \\see Gill on "Ex 30:1"\\ &c. to end of chapter. 10564-941108-1324-Ex37.2
