Exodus 37:9-20

9The cherubim faced each other and looked down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they protected it.

10Then Bezalel made the table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high.

11He overlaid it with pure gold and ran a gold molding around the edge.

12He decorated it with a 3-inch border all around, and he ran a gold molding along the border.

13Then he cast four gold rings for the table and attached them at the four corners next to the four legs.

14The rings were attached near the border to hold the poles that were used to carry the table.

15He made these poles from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

16Then he made special containers of pure gold for the table—bowls, ladles, jars, and pitchers—to be used in pouring out liquid offerings.

17Then Bezalel made the lampstand of pure, hammered gold. He made the entire lampstand and its decorations of one piece—the base, center stem, lamp cups, buds, and petals.

18The lampstand had six branches going out from the center stem, three on each side.

19Each of the six branches had three lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.

20The center stem of the lampstand was crafted with four lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.
