⁸ “They are to make a sanctuary^(A) for me so that I may dwell^(B) among them. ⁹ You must make it according to all that I show you—the pattern^(C) of the tabernacle as well as the pattern of all its furnishings.

The Table

²³ “You are to construct a table^(A) of acacia wood, thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.^{[a] 24} Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it. ²⁵ Make a three-inch^[b] frame all around it and make a gold molding for it all around its frame. ²⁶ Make four gold rings for it, and attach the rings to the four corners at its four legs. ²⁷ The rings should be next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table. ²⁸ Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and the table can be carried by them. ²⁹ You are also to make its plates^(B) and cups, as well as its pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold. ³⁰ Put the Bread of the Presence^(C) on the table before me at all times.

The Lampstand

³¹ “You^(D) are to make a lampstand^(E) out of pure, hammered gold. It is to be made of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its buds^[c] and petals. ³² Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side. ³³ There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on the next branch. It is to be this way for the six branches that extend from the lampstand. ³⁴ There are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand shaft along with its buds and petals. ³⁵ For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches from it, a bud under the second pair of branches from it, and a bud under the third pair of branches from it. ³⁶ Their buds and branches are to be of one piece.^[d] All of it is to be a single hammered piece of pure gold.

³⁷ “Make its seven lamps,^(F) and set them up so that they illuminate the area in front of it. ³⁸ Its snuffers and firepans must be of pure gold. ³⁹ The lampstand^[e] with all these utensils is to be made from seventy-five pounds^[f] of pure gold.

The Tabernacle

26 “You^(A) are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains. You must make them of finely spun linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.

⁵ “Take fine flour and bake it into twelve loaves;^(A) each loaf is to be made with four quarts.^{[a] 6} Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table^(B) before the Lord. ⁷ Place pure frankincense^(C) near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion^(D) for the bread and a food offering^(E) to the Lord. ⁸ The bread is to be set out before the Lord every Sabbath day as a permanent covenant^(F) obligation on the part of the Israelites.
