Exodus 37:10-24

10He made the table of acacia wood; its length was three feet, its width one foot six inches, and its height two feet three inches.

11He overlaid it with pure gold, and he made a surrounding border of gold for it.

12He made a surrounding frame for it about three inches wide, and he made a surrounding border of gold for its frame.

13He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings at the four corners where its four legs were.

14The rings were close to the frame to provide places for the poles to carry the table.

15He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.

16He made the vessels which were on the table out of pure gold, its plates, its ladles, its pitchers, and its bowls, to be used in pouring out offerings.

17He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered metal; its base and its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its blossoms were from the same piece.

18Six branches were extending from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand from the other side of it.

19Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on the first branch, and three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on the next branch, and the same for the six branches that were extending from the lampstand.

20On the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms,

21with a bud under the first two branches from it, and a bud under the next two branches from it, and a bud under the third two branches from it; according to the six branches that extended from it.

22Their buds and their branches were of one piece; all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold.

23He made its seven lamps, its trimmers, and its trays of pure gold.

24He made the lampstand and all its accessories with seventy-five pounds of pure gold.
