Exodus 25:10-40

10“1They shall construct an ark of acacia wood two and a half 2cubits 3long, and one and a half cubits 4wide, and one and a half cubits 5high. 11You shall 6overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and you shall make a gold molding 7around it. 12You shall cast four gold rings for it and 8fasten them on its four feet, and two rings shall be on one side of it and two rings on the other side of it. 13You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 14You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark with them. 15The 9poles shall 10remain in the rings of the ark; they shall not be removed from it. 16You shall 11put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

17“You shall 12make a 13mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half 14cubits 15long and one and a half cubits 16wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work 17at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19Make one cherub 18at one end and one cherub 19at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 2020The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and 21facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 2122You shall put the mercy seat 23on top of the ark, and 24in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 2225There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from 26between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.

23“27You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits 28long and one cubit 29wide and one and a half cubits 30high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 31border around it. 25You shall make for it a rim of a handbreadth around it; and you shall make a gold border for the rim around it. 26You shall make four gold rings for it and put rings on the four corners which are on its four feet. 27The rings shall be close to 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 with them the table may be carried. 29You shall make its 3233dishes and its pans and its jars and its 34bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. 30You shall set 35the bread of the 36Presence on the table before Me 37at all times.

31“38Then you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand and its base and its shaft are to be made of hammered work; its cups, its 39bulbs and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 3240Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its 41other side. 3342Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a 43bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the 44other branch, a 45bulb and a flower--so for six branches going out from the lampstand; 34and 46in the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 47bulbs and its flowers. 3548A 49bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 50bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 51bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 3652Their 53bulbs 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 its lamps seven in number; and 54they shall 55mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it. 38Its snuffers and 56their trays shall be of pure gold. 39It shall be made from a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 4057See that you make them 58after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.
