Exodus 37:11-21 Amplified Bible (AMP)

11. He overlaid it with pure gold and made a molding of gold around its top.

12. And he made a border around it [just under the top] a handbreadth wide, and a molding of gold around the border.

13. And he cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs.

14. Close to the border were the rings, the places for the poles to pass through to carry the [showbread] table.

15. [Bezalel] made the poles of acacia wood to carry the [showbread] table and overlaid them with gold.

16. He made of pure gold the vessels which were to be on the table, its plates and dishes [for bread], its bowls and flagons for pouring [liquid sacrifices].

17. And he made the lampstand of pure gold; its base and shaft were made of hammered work; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers were of one piece with it.

18. There were six branches going out of the sides of the lampstand, three branches out of one side of it and three branches out of the other side of it;

19. Three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, each with a [calyx] knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the [opposite] branch, each with a [calyx] knob and a flower; and so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

20. On [the shaft of] the lampstand were four cups made like almond blossoms, with knobs and flowers [one at the top].

21. And a knob under each pair of branches, of one piece with the lampstand, for the six branches going out of it.
