89 Now when Moses went into the tabernacle of meeting (A)to speak with Him, he heard (B)the voice of One speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the Testimony, from (C)between the two cherubim; thus He spoke to him.

Arrangement of the Lamps(D)

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to Aaron, and say to him, ‘When you (E)arrange the lamps, the seven (F)lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.’ ” And Aaron did so; he arranged the lamps to face toward the front of the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses. (G)Now this workmanship of the lampstand was hammered gold; from its shaft to its flowers it was (H)hammered work. (I)According to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.

89 And in the going in of Moses unto the tent of meeting to speak with Him -- he doth even hear the voice speaking unto him from off the mercy-seat which [is] upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubs; and He speaketh unto him.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto Aaron, and thou hast said unto him, In thy causing the lights to go up, over-against the face of the candlestick do the seven lights give light.'

And Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

And this [is] the work of the candlestick: beaten work of gold; unto its thigh, unto its flower it [is] beaten work; as the appearance which Jehovah shewed Moses, so he hath made the candlestick.

89 Now when (A)Moses entered the tent of meeting to speak with Him, he heard the voice speaking to him from above (B)the [a]atoning cover that was on the ark of the testimony, from (C)between the two [b]cherubim; so He spoke to him.

The Seven Lamps

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you [c]mount the lamps, the seven lamps will (D)provide light in the front of the lampstand.’” Therefore Aaron did so; he [d]mounted its lamps at the front of the lampstand, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. (E)Now this was the workmanship of the lampstand, hammered work of gold; from its base to its flower ornamentation it was hammered work; (F)according to the [e]pattern which the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
