Exodus 25:25-37 Common English Bible (CEB)

25. Make a frame around it that is four inches wide and a gold molding around the frame.

26. Make four gold rings for the table. Fasten the rings to the four corners at its four legs.

27. The rings that house the poles used for carrying the table should be close to the frame.

28. Make the poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold. The table should be carried with these poles.

29. Make its plates, dishes, jars, and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them of pure gold.

30. Set the bread of the presence on the table so it is always in front of me.

31. Make a lampstand of pure hammered gold. The lampstand’s base, branches, cups, flowers, and petals should all be attached to it.

32. It should have six branches growing out from its sides, three branches on one side of the lampstand and three branches on the other side of the lampstand.

33. One branch will have three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a flower and petals, and the next branch will also have three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a flower and petals. So it will be for the six branches that grow out of the lampstand.

34. In addition, on the lampstand itself there will be four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its flower and petals.

35. There will be a flower attached under the first pair of branches, a flower attached under the next pair of branches, and a flower attached under the last pair of branches. So it will be for the six branches that grow out of the lampstand.

36. Their flowers and their branches will be permanently attached to it. The whole lampstand should be one piece of pure hammered gold.

37. Make its seven lamps and set up its lamps so that they direct their light in front of the lampstand.
