Exodus 25:23-40

23Use acacia wood to make a table. It must be one 1 metre long, 50 centimetres wide and 75 centimetres high.

24Cover the wood with gold. Build up the edges of the table with gold.

25Also, fix an extra piece of wood around its edge. It must be 7 centimetres wide. Build up the edges of this piece with gold.

26Make four gold rings for the table. Fix them to the four corners, one beside each leg of the table.

27The rings must be near to the extra piece of wood. They will hold the poles that you will use to carry the table.

28Use acacia wood to make the poles. Cover them with gold. Use the poles to carry the table.

29Use pure gold to make plates, big spoons, jars and bowls. You will use these things to pour out drink offerings.

30Put the Lord's special bread on this table. The bread must always be there for me.

31Use one piece of pure gold to make a lampstand. Use a hammer to make it the right shape. Use the gold to make its base, its middle pole and the cups to hold the oil. The cups will be like open flowers and closed flowers.

32Make six branches on the lampstand, three branches on each side of the middle pole.

33Put three cups in the shape of almond flowers and their leaves on each branch. Each of the six branches of the lampstand will have three cups like that.

34On the lampstand itself, put four cups in the shape of almond flowers and their leaves.

35Put one closed flower under the first pair of branches. Put a second closed flower under the second pair of branches. Put the third closed flower under the third pair of branches. So there will be three closed flowers for the six branches on the lampstand.

36You must make the flowers and the branches from the same piece of pure gold as the lampstand. Use a hammer to make the gold into the right shape.

37Then make seven lamps and fix them to the lampstand. Fix them so that they light the space in front of the lampstand.

38Also use pure gold to make small tools and dishes to take care of the lamps.

39Use 34 kilograms of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the tools to take care of it.

40Be careful to make all these things like the plan that I have shown you on the mountain.
