Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Then he made the table of acacia wood; it was thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. ¹¹ He covered it with pure gold and put a gold strip around it. ¹² He made a frame three inches high that stood up all around the edge, and he put a gold strip around it. ¹³ Then he made four gold rings for the table and attached them to the four corners of the table where the four legs were. ¹⁴ The rings were put close to the frame around the top of the table, because they held the poles for carrying it. ¹⁵ The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were covered with gold. ¹⁶ He made of pure gold all the things that were used on the table: the plates, bowls, cups, and jars used for pouring the drink offerings. ¹⁷ Then he made the lampstand of pure gold, hammering out its base and stand. Its flower-like cups, buds, and petals were joined together in one piece with the base and stand. ¹⁸ Six branches went out from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. ¹⁹ Each branch had three cups shaped like almond flowers, and each cup had a bud and a petal. Each of the six branches going out from the lampstand was the same.
