Exodus 25:18-40

18You shall make two cherubim of gold; make them of hammered work 1at the two ends of the atoning cover. 19Make one cherub 2at one end and one cherub 3at the other end; you shall make the cherubim of one piece 4with the atoning cover at its two ends. 20And 5the cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the atoning cover with their wings and 6facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the atoning cover. 21Then 7you shall put the atoning cover 8on top of the ark, and 9in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 2210There I will meet with you; and from above the atoning cover, from 11between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about 12every commandment that I will give you for the sons of Israel.

23“13You shall also make a table of acacia wood, 14two cubits 15long and one cubit 16wide, and one and a half cubits 17high. 24You shall overlay it with pure gold and make a gold 18border around it. 25And you shall make for it a rim of a 19hand 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 20dishes, 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 21the bread of the 22Presence on the table before Me continually.

31“23Then 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 24bulbs, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 3225Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its 26other side. 3327Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms on the one branch, a 28bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the 29other branch, a 30bulb and a flower--the same for six branches going out from the lampstand; 34and 31on the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 32bulbs and its flowers. 3533A 34bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 35bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 36bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. 3637Their 38bulbs 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 39they shall 40mount 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 41talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 4042See that you make them 43by the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.
