THE TABLE

²³“You are to construct a table^d of acacia wood, thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.^{A 24}Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it. ²⁵Make a three-inch^B frame all around it and make a gold molding for it all around its frame. ²⁶Make four gold rings for it, and attach the rings to the four corners at its four legs. ²⁷The rings should be next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table. ²⁸Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and the table can be carried by them. ²⁹You are also to make its plates^e and cups, as well as its pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold. ³⁰Put the Bread of the Presence^f on the table before me at all times.

THE LAMPSTAND

³¹“You^g are to make a lampstand^h out of pure, hammered gold. It is to be made of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its buds^C and petals. ³²Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side. ³³There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on the next branch. It is to be this way for the six branches that extend from the lampstand. ³⁴There are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand shaft along with its buds and petals. ³⁵For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches from it, a bud under the second pair of branches from it, and a bud under the third pair of branches from it. ³⁶Their buds and branches are to be of one piece.^D All of it is to be a single hammered piece of pure gold.

³⁷“Make its seven lamps,ⁱ and set them up so that they illuminate the area in front of it. ³⁸Its snuffers and firepans must be of pure gold. ³⁹The lampstand^E with all these utensils is to be made from seventy-five pounds^F of pure gold.
