Exodus 25:18-40
18You shall make two cherubim of gold, make them of hammered work 1at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19Make one cherub 2at one end and one cherub 3at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 204The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings and 5facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 216You shall put the mercy seat 7on top of the ark, and 8in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 229There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from 10between 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“11You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits 12long and one cubit 13wide and one and a half cubits 14high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 15border 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 1617dishes and its pans and its jars and its 18bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. 30You shall set 19the bread of the 20Presence on the table before Me 21at all times.
31“22Then 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 23bulbs and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 3224Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its 25other side. 3326Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a 27bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the 28other branch, a 29bulb and a flower--so for six branches going out from the lampstand; 34and 30in the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 31bulbs and its flowers. 3532A 33bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 34bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 35bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 3636Their 37bulbs 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 38they shall 39mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it. 38Its snuffers and 40their trays shall be of pure gold. 39It shall be made from a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 4041See that you make them 42after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.
