Exodus 37 | King James Version

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.

Arken tillverkas

1 Därefter tillverkade Besalel arken. Den gjordes av akacieträ, 125 centimeter lång och 75 centimeter bred och 75 centimeter hög. 2 Den var överdragen med rent guld både invändigt och utvändigt och hade en rand av guld runt omkring utmed sidorna. 3 Fyra ringar av guld sattes fast ovanför arkens fötter, två på varje sida. 4 Sedan gjorde han stänger av akacieträ och drog över dem med guld 5 och sköt in dem genom ringarna på arken, så att man kunde bära den. 6 Sedan gjorde han ett lock av rent guld, "benådningsplatsen". Den var 125 centimeter lång och 75 centimeter bred. 7 Han gjorde två keruber av hamrat guld och placerade dem vid de båda ändarna av benådningsplatsen. 8 De var gjorda som en del av locket, allt i ett stycke. 9 Keruberna hade sina ansikten vända mot varandra och vingarna utbredda så att de övertäckte benådningsplatsen, som de såg ner på. 10 Han gjorde också ett bord av akacieträ, en meter långt, en halv meter brett och 75 centimeter högt. 11 Det var överdraget och kantat med guld. 12 Runt omkring det gjorde han en list, bred som en hand, och runt den en rand av guld. 13 Och han göt fyra ringar av guld och satte dem i de fyra bordsbenen, 14 tätt intill listen, så att man skulle kunna bära bordet med stängerna, som sköts in i ringarna. 15-16 Stängerna gjordes av akacieträ överdraget med guld. Av rent guld gjorde han sedan kärlen till bordet, faten, skålarna, bägarna och kannorna.

Ljusstaken tillverkas

17 Ljusstaken gjorde han också av rent, hamrat guld. Dess fot och stam, armar och mandelblommor var alla gjorda i ett stycke. 18 Ljusstaken hade sex armar, tre på var sida av stammen. 19 På varje arm fanns utskurna blommor som prydnad. 20-21 På mittstammen fanns liknande dekorationer med mandelträdsblommor, en blomma under varje armpar som gick ut från stammen och dessutom en ovanför det översta paret, tillsammans fyra stycken. 22 Dekorationerna och armarna var alla gjorda i ett stycke av rent hamrat guld. 23-24 Sedan gjorde han sju oljelampor till den och tänger och brickor till dessa, allt av rent guld. Hela ljusstaken vägde femtio kilo, och allt var av renaste guld.

Rökelsealtaret tillverkas

25 Rökelsealtaret gjordes av akacieträ. Det var en halv meter i fyrkant och en meter högt, och dess horn var gjorda i ett stycke med själva altaret. 26 Han drog över det med rent guld och gjorde en guldlist runt omkring det. 27 Sedan gjorde han två ringar av guld som sattes fast nedanför listen för att hålla bärstängerna. 28 De var av akacieträ, överdragna med guld. 29 Av kryddor tillagade han den heliga oljan som prästerna skulle smörjas med och den välluktande rökelsen, alltsammans efter konstens alla regler.
