7. Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
8. He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover.
9. The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
10. They made the table of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.
11. Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.
12. They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
13. They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.
14. The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.
15. The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold.
16. And they made from pure gold the articles for the table—its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.
17. They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them.
18. Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other.
19. Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand.
20. And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.
21. One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all.
