18. Make two cherubim of beaten gold for the two ends of the cover;
19. make one cherub at one end, and the other at the other end, of one piece with the cover, at each end.
20. The cherubim shall have their wings spread out above, sheltering the cover with them; they shall face each other, with their faces looking toward the cover.
21. This cover you shall then place on top of the ark. In the ark itself you are to put the covenant which I will give you.
22. There I will meet you and there, from above the cover, between the two cherubim on the ark of the covenant, I will tell you all that I command you regarding the Israelites.
23. You shall also make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.
24. Plate it with pure gold and make a molding of gold around it.
25. Make a frame for it, a handbreadth high, and make a molding of gold around the frame.
26. You shall also make four rings of gold for it and fasten them at the four corners, one at each leg.
27. The rings shall be alongside the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.
28. These poles for carrying the table you shall make of acacia wood and plate with gold.
29. You shall make its plates and cups, as well as its pitchers and bowls for pouring libations; make them of pure gold.
30. On the table you shall always keep showbread set before me.
31. You shall make a menorah of pure beaten gold—its shaft and branches—with its cups and knobs and petals springing directly from it.
32. Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches on one side, and three on the other.
33. On one branch there are to be three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, each with its knob and petals; on the opposite branch there are to be three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, each with its knob and petals; and so for the six branches that extend from the menorah.
34. On the menorah there are to be four cups, shaped like almond blossoms, with their knobs and petals.
