Exodus 25:16-40

16You shall 1put into the ark the testimony which I shall give you.

17“You shall 2make a 3mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half 4cubits 5long and one and a half cubits 6wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work 7at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19Make one cherub 8at one end and one cherub 9at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 2010The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and 11facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 2112You shall put the mercy seat 13on top of the ark, and 14in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 2215There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from 16between 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“17You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits 18long and one cubit 19wide and one and a half cubits 20high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 21border 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 2223dishes and its pans and its jars and its 24bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. 30You shall set 25the bread of the 26Presence on the table before Me 27at all times.

31“28Then 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 29bulbs and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 3230Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its 31other side. 3332Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a 33bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the 34other branch, a 35bulb and a flower--so for six branches going out from the lampstand; 34and 36in the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 37bulbs and its flowers. 3538A 39bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 40bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 41bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 3642Their 43bulbs 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 44they shall 45mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it. 38Its snuffers and 46their trays shall be of pure gold. 39It shall be made from a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 4047See that you make them 48after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.
