Exodus 37:10–29

Making the Table

¹⁰He ^uconstructed the table of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high. ^v11He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding all around it. ¹²He made a three-inch ^wframe all around it and made a gold molding all around its frame. ¹³He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings to the four corners at its four legs. ¹⁴The rings were next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table. ¹⁵He made the poles for carrying the table from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ¹⁶He also made the utensils that would be on the table out of pure gold: its plates and cups, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.

Making the Lampstand

¹⁷Then ^xhe made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold. He made it all of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its calyxes ^yand petals. ¹⁸Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side. ¹⁹There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the first branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the next branch. It was this way for the six branches that extended from the lampstand. ²⁰On the lampstand shaft there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with its calyxes and petals. ²¹For the six branches that extended from it, a calyx was under the first pair of branches from it, a calyx under the second pair of branches from it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches from it. ²²Their calyxes and branches were of one piece. ^zAll of it was a single hammered piece of pure gold. ²³He also made its seven lamps, snuffers, and firepans of pure gold. ²⁴He made it and all its utensils of 75 pounds ^aof pure gold.

Making the Altar of Incense

²⁵He ^bmade the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, 18 inches long and 18 inches wide; it was 36 inches high. ^cIts horns were of one piece. ^d26He overlaid it, its top, all around its sides, and its horns with pure gold. Then he made a gold molding all around it. ²⁷He made two gold rings for it under the molding on two of its sides; he put these on opposite sides of it to be holders for the poles to carry it with. ²⁸He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

²⁹He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant, and expertly blended incense. ^e
