Exodus 37:9-20

9The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.

10They made the table of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.

11Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.

12They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

13They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.

14The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.

15The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold.

16And they made from pure gold the articles for the table—its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.

17They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them.

18Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other.

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

20And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.
