Exodus 25:23-40 - Instructions For Making A Table And A Lampstand

23 Make a table of acacia wood thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 24 Cover it with pure gold. Put a gold molding around it. 25 Make a rim three inches wide around it. Put a gold molding around the rim. 26 Make four gold rings for it. Fasten them to the four corners where the four legs are. 27 The rings are to be close to the rim. They are to hold the poles for carrying the table. 28 Make the poles out of acacia wood. Cover them with gold and use them to carry the table. 29 The plates and dishes for the table should be out of pure gold. Also make pitchers and bowls to be used for pouring wine offerings. 30 The table should be placed in front of the Covenant Box. There is always to be the sacred bread offered to me for the table.

31 Make lamp stand of pure gold. Make its base and its shaft of hammered gold. Its decorative flowers, including buds and petals, are to form one piece with it. 32 Six branches shall extend from its sides, three from each side. 33 Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the other branch. This should go on for six branches going out from the lamp stand. 34 Four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its bulbs and its flowers should be in the lamp stand. 35 A bulb shall be under each of the six pair of branches coming out of the lamp stand. 36 Their bulbs and their branches shall be of one piece. All of it must be one piece of hammered work of pure gold.

37 Then make a total of seven lamps. Mount the lamps so that they shed light on the space in front of it. 38 Its snuffers and fire holders (trays) must be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made from seventy-five pounds of pure gold, with all these utensils. 40 See that you make them like the pattern for them that were shown to you on the mountain.
