Exodus 25:16-40

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

17“And you shall 2make 3an atoning cover of pure gold, 4two and a half cubits 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 atoning cover. 19Make one cherub 8at one end and one cherub 9at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece 10with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20And 11the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and 12facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21Then 13you shall put the atoning cover 14on top of the ark, and 15in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 2216There I will meet with you; and from above the atoning cover, from 17between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about 18every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.

23“19You shall also make a table of acacia wood, 20two cubits 21long and one cubit 22wide, and one and a half cubits 23high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 24border around it. 25And you shall make for it a rim of a 25hand 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 26dishes, 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 27the bread of the 28Presence on the table before Me continually.

31“29Then 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 30bulbs, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 3231Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its 32other side. 3333Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms on the one branch, a 34bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the 35other branch, a 36bulb and a flower--the same for six branches going out from the lampstand; 34and 37on the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 38bulbs and its flowers. 3539A 40bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 41bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 42bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 3643Their 44bulbs 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 45they shall 46mount 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 47talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 4048See that you make them 49by the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.
