Exodus 25:10-40

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

17“And you shall 13make 14an atoning cover of pure gold, 15two and a half cubits 16long and one and a half cubits 17wide. 18You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work 18at the two ends of the atoning cover. 19Make one cherub 19at one end and one cherub 20at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece 21with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20And 22the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and 23facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21Then 24you shall put the atoning cover 25on top of the ark, and 26in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 2227There I will meet with you; and from above the atoning cover, from 28between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about 29every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.

23“30You shall also make a table of acacia wood, 31two cubits 32long and one cubit 33wide, and one and a half cubits 34high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 35border around it. 25And you shall make for it a rim of a 36hand width around it; and you shall make a gold border for the rim around it. 26You shall also make four gold rings for it and put rings on the four corners which are on its four legs. 27The rings shall be close to the rim, as holders for the poles to carry the table. 28And you shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that with them the table may be carried. 29You shall also make its 37dishes, its pans, its jars, and its libation bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold. 30And you shall set 38the bread of the 39Presence on the table before Me continually.

31“40Then you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand, its base and its shaft, are to be made of hammered work; its cups, its 41bulbs, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 3242Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its 43other side. 3344Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms on the one branch, a 45bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the 46other branch, a 47bulb and a flower--the same for six branches going out from the lampstand; 34and 48on the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 49bulbs and its flowers. 3550A 51bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 52bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 53bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 3654Their 55bulbs 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 56they shall 57mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it. 38Its tongs and its trays shall be of pure gold. 39It shall be made from a 58talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 4059See that you make them 60by the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.
