Exodus 37:13-29 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings to the four corners at its four legs.

14. The rings were next to the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.

15. He made the poles for carrying the table from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

16. He also made the utensils that would be on the table out of pure gold: its plates and cups, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.

17. Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold. He made it all of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its calyxes and petals.

18. Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side.

19. There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the first branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the next branch. It was this way for the six branches that extended from the lampstand.

20. On the lampstand shaft there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with its calyxes and petals.

21. For the six branches that extended from it, a calyx was under the first pair of branches from it, a calyx under the second pair of branches from it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches from it.

22. Their calyxes and branches were of one piece. All of it was a single hammered piece of pure gold.

23. He also made its seven lamps, snuffers, and firepans of pure gold.

24. He made it and all its utensils of 75 pounds of pure gold.

25. He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, 18 inches long and 18 inches wide; it was 36 inches high. Its horns were of one piece.

26. He overlaid it, its top, all around its sides, and its horns with pure gold. Then he made a gold molding all around it.

27. He made two gold rings for it under the molding on two of its sides; he put these on opposite sides of it to be holders for the poles to carry it with.

28. He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

29. He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant, and expertly blended incense.
