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.
22. Their knobs and their branches were of one piece with it, all of it hammered work of pure gold.
23. And he made of pure gold its seven lamps, its snuffers, and its ashtrays.
24. Of a talent of pure gold he made the lampstand and all its utensils. [John 1:4, 5, 9; II Cor. 4:6.]
25. And [Bezalel] made the incense altar of acacia wood; its top was a cubit square and it was two cubits high; the horns were one piece with it.
26. He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, its sides round about, and its horns; also he made a rim around it of gold.
27. And he made two rings of gold for it under its rim, on its two opposite sides, as places for the poles [to pass through] to carry it.
28. And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
29. He also made the holy anointing oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit] and the pure, fragrant incense, after the perfumer's art.
