Exodus 25:23-40

23“You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and one and a half cubits high.

24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a border of gold around the top of it.

25You shall make a rim of a hand width around it; you shall make a gold border for the rim around it.

26You shall make four gold rings for it and fasten them at the four corners that are on the table’s four legs.

27The rings shall be close against the rim as holders for the poles to carry the table.

28You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them.

29You shall make its plates [for the showbread] and its cups [for incense] and its pitchers and bowls for sacrificial drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold.

30You shall set the bread of the Presence (showbread) on the table before Me at all times.

31“You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand and its base and its shaft shall be made of hammered work; its cups, its calyxes and its flowers shall be all of one piece with it.

32Six branches shall come out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand out of the one side and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side [the shaft being the seventh branch].

33Three cups shall be made like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and a flower on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms on the other branch with a calyx and a flower—so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand;

34and in the [center shaft of the] lampstand [you shall make] four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and their flowers.

35A calyx shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a calyx under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.

36Their calyxes and their branches shall be of one piece with it; all of it shall be one piece of hammered work of pure gold.

37Then you shall make the lamps [of the lampstand] seven in number [with one lamp at the top of the shaft]. The priests shall set up its seven lamps so that they will light the space in front of it.

38Its snuffers and their trays shall be of pure gold.

39It shall be made from a talent (50-80 lbs.) of pure gold, including all these utensils.

40See that you make them [exactly] after their pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.
