Exodus 25:23-40

23“You are to construct a table of acacia wood, thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.

24Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it.

25Make a three-inch frame all around it and make a gold molding for it all around its frame.

26Make four gold rings for it, and attach the rings to the four corners at its four legs.

27The rings should be next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.

28Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and the table can be carried by them.

29You are also to make its plates and cups, as well as its pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold.

30Put the Bread of the Presence on the table before me at all times.

31“You are to make a lampstand out of pure, hammered gold. It is to be made of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its buds and petals.

32Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side.

33There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on the next branch. It is to be this way for the six branches that extend from the lampstand.

34There are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand shaft along with its buds and petals.

35For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches from it, a bud under the second pair of branches from it, and a bud under the third pair of branches from it.

36Their buds and branches are to be of one piece. All of it is to be a single hammered piece of pure gold.

37“Make its seven lamps, and set them up so that they illuminate the area in front of it.

38Its snuffers and firepans must be of pure gold.

39The lampstand with all these utensils is to be made from seventy-five pounds of pure gold.

40Be careful to make them according to the pattern you have been shown on the mountain.
