New Testament

Exodus 25:23-36 New Century Version (NCV)

23. “Make a table out of acacia wood, thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.

24. Cover it with pure gold, and put a gold strip around it.

25. Make a frame three inches high that stands up all around the edge, and put a gold strip around it.

26. Then make four gold rings. Attach them to the four corners of the table where the four legs are.

27. Put the rings close to the frame around the top of the table, because they will hold the poles for carrying it.

28. Make the poles out of acacia wood, cover them with gold, and carry the table with these poles.

29. Make the plates and bowls for the table, as well as the jars and cups, out of pure gold. They will be used for pouring out the drink offerings.

30. On this table put the bread that shows you are in my presence so that it is always there in front of me.

31. “Hammer pure gold to make a lampstand. Its base, stand, flower-like cups, buds, and petals must all be joined together in one piece.

32. The lampstand must have six branches going out from its sides—three on one side and three on the other.

33. Each branch must have three cups shaped like almond flowers on it. Each cup must have a bud and a petal. Each of the six branches going out from the lampstand must be the same.

34. And there must be four more cups made like almond flowers on the lampstand itself. These cups must also have buds and petals.

35. Put a bud under each pair of branches that goes out from the lampstand. Each of the six branches going out from the lampstand must be the same.

36. The branches, buds, and lampstand must be made of one piece, hammered out of pure gold.
