11. And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made a molding of gold around it.
12. And he made a rim around it a handbreadth wide, and made a molding of gold around the rim.
13. He cast for it four rings of gold and fastened the rings to the four corners at its four legs.

15. He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid them with gold.
16. And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table, its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour drink offerings.
17. He also made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work. Its base, its stem, its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were of one piece with it.
18. And there were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it;
19. three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms, each with calyx and flower, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
20. And on the lampstand itself were four cups made like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and flowers,
21. and a calyx of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out of it.
