Gold for God's House
Read the Story
Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. He covered it with pure gold inside and outside. He made gold rings and poles covered with gold so it could be carried. He made the mercy seat of pure gold. He made two cherubim of hammered gold, one at each end. Their wings were spread out above, covering the mercy seat. Their faces looked toward each other and toward the mercy seat.
He made the table of acacia wood covered with pure gold. He made its dishes, spoons, bowls and pitchers of pure gold.
He made the lampstand of pure gold, hammered out of one piece. It had six branches and cups shaped like almond blossoms. He made its seven lamps. He made the altar of incense of acacia wood covered with gold. He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices.
