23You are also to makeH6213 a tableH7979 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 two cubitsH520 longH753, a cubitH520 wideH7341, and a cubitH520 and a halfH2677 highH6967.1 24OverlayH6823 itH853 with pureH2889 goldH2091 and makeH6213 a goldH2091 moldingH2213 around itH5439. 25And makeH6213 a rimH4526 around itH5439 a handbreadth wideH29482 and putH6213 a goldH2091 moldingH2213 onH5439 the rimH4526.
26MakeH6213 fourH702 goldH2091 ringsH2885 for the table and fastenH5414 them toH5921 the fourH702 cornersH6285 at its fourH702 legsH7272. 27The ringsH2885 are to beH1961 closeH5980 to the rimH4526, to serve as holdersH1004 for the polesH905 used to carryH5375 the tableH7979. 28MakeH6213 the polesH905 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 and overlayH6823 themH853 with goldH2091, so that the tableH7979 may be carriedH5375 with them.
29You are also to makeH6213 the platesH7086 and dishesH3709, as well as the pitchersH7184 and bowlsH4518 for pouring drink offeringsH5258. MakeH6213 themH853 out of pureH2889 goldH2091.
30And placeH5414 the BreadH3899 of the PresenceH6440 onH5921 the tableH7979 before MeH6440 at all timesH8548.
31Then you are to makeH6213 a lampstandH4501 of pureH2889, hammeredH4749 goldH2091. ItH4501 shall be madeH6213 of one pieceH4480, includingH1961 its baseH3409 and shaftH7070, its cupsH1375, and its budsH3730 and petalsH6525.
32SixH8337 branchesH7070 are to extendH3318 from the sidesH6654 of the lampstandH4501—threeH7969 on oneH259 sideH6654 and threeH7969 on the otherH8145. 33There are to be threeH7969 cupsH1375 shaped like almond blossomsH8246 on the firstH259 branchH7070, each with budsH3730 and petalsH6525, threeH7969 on the nextH259 branchH7070, and the sameH3651 for all sixH8337 branchesH7070 that extendH3318 fromH4480 the lampstandH4501.
34And on the lampstandH4501 there shall be fourH702 cupsH1375 shaped like almond blossomsH8246 with budsH3730 and petalsH6525. 35For the sixH8337 branchesH7070 that extendH3318 fromH4480 the lampstandH4501, a budH3730 must be underH8478 the first pairH8147 of branchesH7070, a budH3730 underH8478 the second pairH8147, and a budH3730 underH8478 the third pairH8147. 36The budsH3730 and branchesH7070H4480 are to beH1961 allH3605 of one pieceH259 with the lampstand, hammeredH4749 out of pureH2889 goldH2091.
37MakeH6213 sevenH7651 lampsH5216 and set them upH5927 onH853 the lampstand so thatH5216 they illuminateH215 the areaH5676 inH5921 front of itH6440. 38The wick trimmersH4457 and their traysH4289 must be of pureH2889 goldH2091. 39The lampstand and allH3605 theseH428 utensilsH3627 shall be madeH6213 fromH853 a talentH3603 of pureH2889 goldH2091.3
40See to it thatH7200 you makeH6213 everything according to the patternH8403 shownH7200 youH859 on the mountainH2022.4
