17. Then make a cover of pure gold, forty-five inches long and twenty-seven inches wide.
18. Make two winged heavenly creatures of hammered gold, one for each end of the cover.
19. Put one winged heavenly creature at one end and one winged heavenly creature at the other. Place the winged heavenly creatures at the cover’s two ends.
20. The heavenly creatures should have their wings spread out above, shielding the cover with their wings. The winged heavenly creatures should face each other toward the cover’s center.
21. Put the gold cover on top of the chest and put the covenant document that I will give you inside the chest.
22. There I will meet with you. From there above the cover, from between the two winged heavenly creatures that are on top of the chest containing the covenant, I will deliver to you all that I command you concerning the Israelites.
23. Make an acacia-wood table, three feet long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.
24. Cover it with pure gold and make a gold molding all around it.
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.
