37:8. One cherub in the top of one side, and the other cherub in the top of the other side: two cherubims at the two ends of the propitiatory,
37:9. Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one towards the other, and towards it.
37:10. He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half.
37:11. And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about,
37:12. And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers breadth, and upon the same another golden crown.
37:13. And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table,
37:14. Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried.
37:15. The bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
37:16. And the vessels for the divers uses of the table, dishes, bowls, and cups, and censers of pure gold, wherein the libations are to be offered.
37:17. He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold.
from the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out:
37:18: Six on the two sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other.
37:19. Three cups in manner of a nut on each branch, and bowls withal and lilies: and three cups of the fashion of a nut in another branch, and bowls withal and lilies. The work of the six branches, that went out from the shaft of the candlestick was equal.
37:20. And in the shaft itself were four cups after the manner of a nut, and bowls withal at every one, and lilies:
37:21. And bowls under two branches in three places, which together made six branches going out from one shaft.
37:22. So both the bowls, and the branches were of the same, all beaten work of the purest gold.
37:23. He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold.
37:24. The candlestick with all the vessels thereof weighed a talent of gold.
37:25. He made also the alter of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns.
37:26. And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate, and the sides, and the horns.
37:27. And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried.
37:28. And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold.
37:29. He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer.
Exodus Chapter 38
He maketh the altar of holocaust. The brazen laver. The court with its pillars and hangings. The sum of what the people offered.
38:1. He made also the altar of holocaust of setim wood, five cubits square, and three in height:
38:2. The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it with plates of bra.s.s.
38:3. And for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of bra.s.s, cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks and firepans.
38:4. And he made the grate thereof of bra.s.s, in manner of a net, and under it in the midst of the altar a hearth,
38:5. Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put in bars to carry it:
38:6. And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of bra.s.s:
38:7. And he drew them through the rines that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within.
38:8. He made also the laver of bra.s.s, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watched at the door of the tabernacle.
38:9. He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits.
38:10. Twenty pillars of bra.s.s with their sockets, the beads of the pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver.
38:11. In like manner at the north side the hangings, the pillars, and the sockets and heads of the pillars were of the same measure, and work and metal.
38:12. But on that side that looketh to the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, ten pillars of bra.s.s with their sockets, and the heads of the pillars, and all the graving of the work, of silver.
38:13. Moreover, towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:
38:14. Fifteen cubits of which, were on one side with three pillars, and their sockets:
38:15. And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets.
38:16. All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted linen.
38:17. The sockets of the pillars were of bra.s.s, and their heads with all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court also with silver.
38:18. And he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits long, and five cubits high, according to the measnre of all the hangings of the court.
38:19. And the pillars in the entry were four, with sockets of bra.s.s, and their heads and gravings of silver.
38:20. The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he made of bra.s.s.
38:21. These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest:
38:22. Which Beseleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda, had made, as the Lord commanded by Moses.
38:23. Having for his companion Ooliab, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan: who also was an ex-cellent artificer in wood, and worker in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and fine linen.
38:24. All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and that was offered in gifts, was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary.
38:25. And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.
38:26. There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and of the entry where the veil hangeth.
