Exodus 37:10-29

International Standard Version

The Table of Showbread

¹⁰ Then he made a table of acacia wood two cubits^[a] long, one cubit^[b] wide, and one and a half cubits^[c] high. ¹¹ He overlaid it with pure gold and put a gold molding around it. ¹² He made a rim one handbreadth^[d] wide around it, and made a gold molding around the rim. ¹³ He cast four gold rings for it and put the rings on the four corners where its four feet were. ¹⁴ The rings were close to the rim as holders for the poles to carry the table. ¹⁵ He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold to carry the table. ¹⁶ He made the utensils which were on the table, its plates, dishes, bowls, and jars out of which libations are poured. He made them of pure gold.

The Lamp Stand

¹⁷ He made the lamp stand of pure gold. He made the lamp stand, its base, and stem of hammered work and its cups, calyxes, and flowers were of one piece with it. ¹⁸ Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lamp stand from one side of it, and three branches of the lamp stand from its other side. ¹⁹ Three cups shaped like almond blossoms with calyxes and flowers were on one branch and three cups shaped like almond blossoms with calyxes and flowers were on the other branch, and so on for the six branches extending from the lamp stand. ²⁰ On the lamp stand itself there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms each with their calyxes and flowers. ²¹ A calyx was under the two branches that extended out of the stem;^[e] a calyx was under the next pair of^[f] branches that extended out of the stem;^[g] and a calyx was under the last pair of^[h] branches that extended out of the stem,^[i] and so on for the six branches extending from the lamp stand. ²² Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it, all of it was of one piece of hammered work of pure gold. ²³ He made its seven lamps, its tongs, and its trays from pure gold. ²⁴ He made it and all of its furnishings from a talent^[j] of pure gold.

The Altar for Incense

²⁵ He made the altar for burning incense of acacia wood, a square, one cubit^[k] long, one cubit^[l] wide, and two cubits^[m] high, with its horns of one piece with it. ²⁶ He overlaid it with pure gold—its top, its sides all around, and its horns—and he made a gold molding around it. ²⁷ He made two gold rings for it under its molding, on its two opposite sides, as holders for poles by which to carry it. ²⁸ He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ²⁹ And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure aromatic incense, the work of a perfumer.
