11. He overlaid it with pure gold and ran a gold molding around the edge.
12. He decorated it with a 3-inch border all around, and he ran a gold molding along the border.
13. Then he cast four gold rings for the table and attached them at the four corners next to the four legs.
14. The rings were attached near the border to hold the poles that were used to carry the table.
15. He made these poles from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
16. Then he made special containers of pure gold for the table—bowls, ladles, jars, and pitchers—to be used in pouring out liquid offerings.
17. Then Bezalel made the lampstand of pure, hammered gold. He made the entire lampstand and its decorations of one piece—the base, center stem, lamp cups, buds, and petals.
18. The lampstand had six branches going out from the center stem, three on each side.
19. Each of the six branches had three lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.
