Exodus 37:9-20

9The cherubs looked at each other and they watched over the lid. Their wings touched each other over the top of the lid.

10Bezalel used acacia wood to make the special table. It was 1 metre long, 50 centimetres wide and 75 centimetres high.

11He covered the wood with gold. He built up the edges of the table with gold.

12He fixed an extra piece of wood around its edge. It was 7 centimetres wide. He built up the edges of this piece with gold.

13He made four gold rings for the table. He fixed them to the four corners, one beside each leg of the table.

14The rings were near to the extra piece of wood. They would hold the poles to carry the table.

15He used acacia wood to make the poles and he covered them with gold. They would use the poles to carry the table.

16He used pure gold to make the things that would be on the table. He made plates, big spoons, jars and bowls. They would use those things to pour out drink offerings.

17Bezalel used one piece of pure gold to make the lampstand. He used a hammer to make it the right shape. He used the gold to make its base, its middle pole and the cups to hold the oil. The cups were like open flowers and closed flowers.

18There were six branches on the lampstand, three branches on each side of the middle pole.

19Three cups in the shape of almond flowers and their leaves were on each branch. Each of the six branches of the lampstand had three cups like that.

20On the lampstand itself there were four cups in the shape of almond flowers and their leaves.
