37 比撒列用皂莢木造了一個櫃，長一點一米，寬六十六釐米，高六十六釐米。 2 這櫃子裡外都包上純金，還鑲了一圈金邊。 3 他造了四個金環，安在櫃的四個腳上，每邊兩個環， 4 又用皂莢木造了兩根橫杠，外面包上金， 5 然後把橫杠穿過櫃旁的金環，便於抬櫃。 6 他用純金造施恩座，長一點一米，寬六十六釐米。 7 又在施恩座的兩端用金子打造兩個基路伯天使， 8 這兩個基路伯天使跟施恩座連在一起， 9 在施恩座的兩端，面對面朝向施恩座，向上展開翅膀遮蓋施恩座。

17 他用純金造了一座燈臺，燈臺的燈座、燈柱、油杯、花瓣和花苞都是用一塊純金打成的。 18 燈臺兩邊各伸出三個分枝，共有六個分枝。 19 每個分枝都伸出三個杏花形狀、有花瓣和花苞的油杯，六個分枝都是這樣。 20 燈臺上有四個杏花形狀、有花瓣和花苞的杯。 21 燈臺上每一對分枝的相連處有花苞，三對分枝都是這樣。 22 整座燈臺，包括一切裝飾，都是用一塊純金打成的。 23 他又用純金為這座燈臺造了七個燈盞，以及燈剪和燈花盤。 24 造整座燈臺和燈臺的器具共用了三十四公斤純金。

Exodus 37
Contemporary English Version
The Sacred Chest
(Exodus 25.10-22)
37 Bezalel built a chest of acacia wood 110 centimeters long, 66 centimeters wide, and 66 centimeters high. 2 He covered it inside and out with pure gold and put a gold edging around the top. 3 He made four gold rings and attached one of them to each of the four legs of the chest. 4 Then he made two poles of acacia wood, covered them with gold, 5 and put them through the rings, so the chest could be carried by the poles.
6 The entire lid of the chest, which was made of pure gold, was the place of mercy.[a] 7-9 On each of the two ends of the chest he made a winged creature of hammered gold. They faced each other, and their wings covered the place of mercy.
The Table for the Sacred Bread
(Exodus 25.23-30)
10 Bezalel built a table of acacia wood 88 centimeters long, 44 centimeters wide, and 66 centimeters high. 11-12 He covered it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it with a border 75 millimeters thick.[b] 13 He made four gold rings and attached one to each of the legs 14 near the edging. The poles for carrying the table were placed through these rings 15 and were made of acacia wood covered with gold. 16 Everything that was to be set on the table was made of pure gold—the bowls, plates, jars, and cups for wine offerings.
The Lampstand
(Exodus 25.31-40)
17 Bezalel made a lampstand of pure gold. The whole lampstand, including its decorative flowers, was made from a single piece of hammered gold, 18 with three branches on each of its two sides. 19 There were three decorative almond blossoms on each branch 20 and four on the stem. 21 There was also a blossom where each pair of branches came out from the stem. 22 The lampstand, including its branches and decorative flowers, was made from a single piece of hammered pure gold. 23-24 The lamp and its equipment, including the tongs and trays, were made of about 35 kilograms of pure gold.
The Altar for Burning Incense
(Exodus 30.1-5)
25 For burning incense, Bezalel made an altar of acacia wood. It was 45 centimeters square and 90 centimeters high with each of its four corners sticking up like the horn of a bull. 26 He covered it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it. 27 Then below the edging on opposite sides he attached two gold rings through which he put the poles for carrying the altar. 28 These poles were also made of acacia wood and covered with gold.
