1Bezalel went on to construct the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

2He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.

3And he cast four gold rings for its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.

5He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it.

18Six branches extended from the sides, three on one side and three on the other.

19There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extended from the lampstand.

20And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals.

21A bud was under the first pair of branches that extended from the lampstand, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.

22The buds and branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
