Exodus 31:1-18
Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.And I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,to create artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, so that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship.And behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill, so that they may make everything that I have commanded you:the tent of meeting, the ark of testimony, the atoning cover that is on it, and all the furniture of the tent,the table and its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense,the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand,the woven garments as well: the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, with which to carry out their priesthood;the anointing oil also, and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place, they are to make them according to everything that I have commanded you.”Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Now as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying,‘ You must keep My Sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.So the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to celebrate the Sabbath throughout their generations as a permanent covenant.’It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”When He had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.

“ Now you shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits.You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.And you shall make its pails for removing its ashes, and its shovels, its basins, its forks, and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze.You shall also make for it a grating, a netting of bronze, and on the netting you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar, so that the netting will reach halfway up the altar.You shall also make carrying poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood and overlay them with bronze.Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles will be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried.You shall make it hollow with planks; as it was shown to you on the mountain, so they shall make it.

Numbers 4:4-16
This is the work of the descendants of Kohath in the tent of meeting, concerning the most holy things.“ When the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the testimony with it;and they shall place a covering of fine leather on it, and spread over it a cloth of pure violet, and insert its carrying poles.Over the table of the bread of the Presence they shall also spread a cloth of violet and put on it the dishes, the pans, the sacrificial bowls, and the jugs for the drink offering; and the continual bread shall be on it.And they shall spread over them a cloth of scarlet material, and cover the same with a covering of fine leather, and they shall insert its carrying poles.Then they shall take a violet cloth and cover the lampstand for the light, along with its lamps, its tongs, its trays, and all its oil containers, by which they attend to it;and they shall put it and all its utensils in a covering of fine leather, and put it on the carrying bars.Over the golden altar they shall spread a violet cloth, and cover it with a covering of fine leather, and they shall insert its carrying poles;and they shall take all the utensils of service, with which they serve in the sanctuary, and put them in a violet cloth and cover them with a covering of fine leather, and put them on the carrying bars.Then they shall clean away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it.They shall also put on it all its utensils by which they serve in connection with it: the firepans, the forks, shovels, and the basins, all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread a cover of fine leather over it and insert its carrying poles.When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set out, after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them by the poles, so that they will not touch the holy objects and die. These are the things in the tent of meeting that the sons of Kohath are to carry.“ Now the responsibility of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the continual grain offering, and the anointing oil— the responsibility of all the tabernacle and everything that is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings.”

Now Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; its length was two and a half cubits, its width one and a half cubits, and its height one and a half cubits;and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a gold molding for it all around.He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet; two rings on one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.And he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry it.He also made an atoning cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.And he made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the atoning cover:one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the atoning cover at the two ends.And the cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the atoning cover.Then he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide, and one and a half cubits high.He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding for it all around.And he made a rim for it of a hand width all around, and made a gold molding for its rim all around.He also cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners that were on its four legs.Close by the rim were the rings, the holders for the poles to carry the table.And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.He also made the utensils which were on the table, its dishes, its pans, its libation bowls, and its jars, with which to pour out drink offerings, of pure gold.Then he made the lampstand of pure gold.

He made it hollow with planks.

There shall be perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.You shall not offer any strange incense on this altar, or burnt offering, or meal offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering on it.However, Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”
