¹Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half cubits, and its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits;

¹比撒列用皂莢木做櫃，長二肘半，寬一肘半，高一肘半。

²and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around.

²裡外包上精金，四圍鑲上金牙邊，

³He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; even two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

³又鑄四個金環，安在櫃的四腳上：這邊兩環，那邊兩環。

⁴He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

⁵He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry it.

⁵把杠穿在櫃旁的環內，以便抬櫃。

⁶He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

⁶用精金做施恩座，長二肘半，寬一肘半。

⁷He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat;

⁷用金子錘出兩個基路伯來，安在施恩座的兩頭，

⁸one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim [of one piece] with the mercy seat at the two ends.

⁸這頭做一個基路伯，那頭做一個基路伯，二基路伯接連一塊，在施恩座的兩頭。

⁹The cherubim had [their] wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

¹⁷Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its bulbs and its flowers were [of one piece] with it.

¹⁷他用精金做一個燈臺；這燈臺的座和榦，與杯、球、花，都是接連一塊錘出來的。

¹⁸There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the other side of it;

¹⁹three cups shaped like almond [blossoms], a bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond [blossoms], a bulb and a flower in the other branch-- so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
