Pagtens ark fremstilles

1 Betzalel konstruerede nu pagtens ark. Den blev lavet af akacietræ og var 1,12 m lang, 67 cm bred og 67 cm høj. 2 Indvendig og udvendig blev den belagt med rent guld, og den fik en pynteliste af guld hele vejen rundt. 3 Fire guldringe blev støbt og fæstnet til arkens fire fødder, to ringe i hver side. 4 Derefter lavede han bærestænger af akacietræ, belagde dem med guld 5 og stak stængerne gennem ringene på siden af arken, så den kunne bæres. 6 Dernæst lavede han af rent guld et låg over arken, forsoningsstedet. Låget var 1,12 m langt og 67 cm bredt. 7-8 Så lavede han de to keruber af hamret guld og placerede dem i hver sin ende af guldlåget. Han lavede dem, så de gik ud i ét med låget. 9 Keruberne vendte ansigtet mod hinanden, men de så ned på forsoningsstedet, og deres vinger var bredt ud, så de dækkede arken.

Bordet til de hellige brød

10 Derefter blev der lavet et bord af akacietræ, 90 cm langt, 45 cm bredt og 45 cm højt. 11 Bordet blev belagt med rent guld og fik en pynteliste af guld hele vejen rundt. 12 Det fik også en kant på en håndsbred hele vejen rundt med en liste af guld udenpå. 13 Dernæst blev der støbt fire guldringe, som blev fæstnet til de fire ben 14 lige under kantlisten, så bærestængerne kunne stikkes gennem dem. 15 Bærestængerne blev lavet af akacietræ og belagt med guld. 16 Bordets tilbehør blev lavet af rent guld: tallerkener, fade, skåle og kander til brug ved drikofferet.

Guldlysestagen og de syv lamper bliver lavet

17 Dernæst blev lysestagen lavet af rent, udhamret guld. Stagens fod, stamme, lampeholdere, blomsterknopper og kronblade blev lavet ud i ét stykke. 18 Stammen havde seks grene, tre på hver side. 19 På hver gren var der tre mandelblomster med knopper og kronblade. 20 Stammen selv var dekoreret med fire mandelblomster, 21 og de tre nederste blomster var placeret med en blomst under hvert af de tre par grene. 22 Samtlige blomster og grene blev hamret ud i rent guld og gik i et med stammen. 23 Endelig blev de syv lamper til lysestagen lavet, og der blev fremstillet vægetænger og vægebakker, alt sammen i rent guld. 24 Til lysestagen og dens forskellige tilbehør blev brugt 30^[1] kg rent guld.

Røgelsesalteret bliver fremstillet

25 Røgelsesalteret blev lavet af akacietræ. Det var 45 cm langt, 45 cm bredt og 90 cm højt. Hornene i hvert hjørne blev udskåret i et stykke med alteret. 26 Det hele blev belagt med rent guld, og der blev sat en pynteliste af guld på kanten hele vejen rundt. 27 På hver af de to sider under listen blev der placeret to guldringe beregnet til bærestængerne, 28 og bærestængerne blev lavet af akacietræ belagt med guld. 29 Derpå fremstillede man den aromatiske salveolie, og man lavede den hellige røgelse, sådan som røgelsesblanderne laver den.

King James Version

1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: 2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it. 4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 6 And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat; 8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof. 9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims. 10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof: 11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about. 12 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about. 13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof. 14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table. 15 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table. 16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold. 17 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same: 18 And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof: 19 Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick. 20 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers: 21 And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it. 22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold. 23 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold. 24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof. 25 And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same. 26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about. 27 And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal. 28 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold. 29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
