Exodus 25:26-38 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

35. The six branches that go out from the menorah are to have a knob under each pair.

36. Their knobs and branches shall so spring from it that the whole will form a single piece of pure beaten gold.

37. You shall then make seven lamps for it and so set up the lamps that they give their light on the space in front of the menorah.

38. These, as well as the trimming shears and trays, must be of pure gold.
