Exodus 37

vayya'as betsalel et-ha'aron atse shittim ammatayim vakhetsi orko ve'ammah vakhetsi rokhbo ve'ammah vakhetsi qomato

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.

vayetsappehu zahav tahor mibbayit umikhuts vayya'as lo zer zahav saviv

He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and out; and he made a gold molding for it round about.

vayyitsoq lo arba tabbe'ot zahav al arba pa'amotayw ushete tabba'ot al-tsalo ha'ekhat ushete tabba'ot al-tsalo hashenit

He cast four gold rings for it, for its four feet: two rings on one of its side walls and two rings on the other.

vayya'as badde atse shittim vayetsaf otam zahav

He made poles of acacia wood, overlaid them with gold,

vayyave et-habbaddim battabba'ot al tsalot ha'aron laset et-ha'aron

and inserted the poles into the rings on the side walls of the ark for carrying the ark.

vayya'as kapporet zahav tahor ammatayim vakhetsi orkah ve'ammah vakhetsi rokhbah

He made a cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

vayya'as shene kheruvim zahav miqshah asah otam mishene qetsot hakkapporet

He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work, at the two ends of the cover:

keruv-ekhad miqqatsah mizzeh ukheruv-ekhad miqqatsah mizzeh min-hakkapporet asah et-hakkeruvim mishene (qtsvvtv) [qetsotayw]

one cherub at one end and the other cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at its two ends.

vayyihyu hakkeruvim porese khenafayim lemalah sokhekhim bekhanfehem al-hakkapporet ufenehem ish el-akhiv el-hakkapporet hayu pene hakkeruvim

The cherubim had their wings spread out above, shielding the cover with their wings. They faced each other; the faces of the cherubim were turned toward the cover.

vayya'as et-hashulkhan atse shittim ammatayim orko ve'ammah rokhbo ve'ammah vakhetsi qomato

He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high;

vayetsaf oto zahav tahor vayya'as lo zer zahav saviv

he overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.

vayya'as lo misgeret tofakh saviv vayya'as zer-zahav lemisgarto saviv

He made a rim of a hand’s breadth around it and made a gold molding for its rim round about.

vayyitsoq lo arba tabbe'ot zahav vayyitten et-hattabba'ot al arba happe'ot asher le'arba raglayw

He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings to the four corners at its four legs.

le'ummat hammisgeret hayu hattabba'ot battim labbaddim laset et-hashulkhan

The rings were next to the rim, as holders for the poles to carry the table.

vayya'as et-habbaddim atse shittim vayetsaf otam zahav laset et-hashulkhan

He made the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table, and overlaid them with gold.

vayya'as et-hakkelim asher al-hashulkhan et-qe'arotayw ve'et-kappotayw ve'et menaqqiyyotayw ve'et-haqqesavot asher yussakh bahen zahav tahor

The utensils that were to be upon the table—its bowls, ladles, jugs, and jars with which to offer libations—he made of pure gold.

vayya'as et-hammenorah zahav tahor miqshah asah et-hammenorah yerekhah veqanah gevi'eha kaftoreha uferakheha mimmennah hayu

He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand—its base and its shaft—of hammered work; its cups, calyxes, and petals were of one piece with it.

veshisha qanim yotse'im mitsiddeha sheloshah qene menorah mitsiddah ha'ekhad usheloshah qene menorah mitsiddah hasheni

Six branches issued from its sides: three branches from one side of the lampstand, and three branches from the other side of the lampstand.

sheloshah gevi'im meshuqqadim baqqaneh ha'ekhad kaftor vaferakh usheloshah gevi'im meshuqqadim beqaneh ekhad kaftor vafarakh ken lesheshet haqqanim hayyotse'im min-hammenorah

There were three cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on one branch; and there were three cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on the next branch; so for all six branches issuing from the lampstand.

uvammenorah arba'ah gevi'im meshuqqadim kaftoreha uferakheha

On the lampstand itself there were four cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals:

vekhaftor takhat shene haqqanim mimmennah vekhaftor takhat shene haqqanim mimmennah vekhaftor takhat-shene haqqanim mimmennah lesheshet haqqanim hayyotse'im mimmennah

a calyx, of one piece with it, under a pair of branches; and a calyx, of one piece with it, under the second pair of branches; and a calyx, of one piece with it, under the last pair of branches; so for all six branches issuing from it.

kaftorehem uqenotam mimmennah hayu kullah miqshah akhat zahav tahor

Their calyxes and their stems were of one piece with it, the whole of it a single hammered piece of pure gold.

He made its seven lamps, its tongs, and its fire pans of pure gold.

kikkar zahav tahor asah otah ve'et kol-keleha

He made it and all its furnishings out of a talent of pure gold.

He made the incense altar of acacia wood, a cubit long and a cubit wide—square—and two cubits high; its horns were of one piece with it.

vayetsaf oto zahav tahor et-gaggo ve'et-qirotayw saviv ve'et-qarnotayw vayya'as lo zer zahav saviv

He overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides round about, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it round about.

ushete tabbe'ot zahav asah-lo mittakhat lezero al shete tsalotayw al shene tsiddayw levattim levaddim laset oto bahem

He made two gold rings for it under its molding, on its two walls—on opposite sides—as holders for the poles with which to carry it.

He prepared the sacred anointing oil and the pure aromatic incense, expertly blended.
