23He also made the seven lamps, along with tongs and censers of pure gold. 24He made them from a talent of pure gold, along with all the pieces. He made the altar of incense from acacia wood, a cubit long, a cubit wide, squared, and two cubits high. The horns were one piece with it. 26Then he overlaid it with pure gold on top, on the sides all around and over its horns. Also he made a crown of gold for it all around. 27He made two golden rings for it underneath the crown, on two sides as holders for poles in order to carry it.
