The Lampstand and the Altar of Incense

Read the passage

17Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold, all of one piece: its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.

18Six branches extended from the sides, three on one side and three on the other.

19There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extended from the lampstand.

20And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals.

21A bud was under the first pair of branches that extended from the lampstand, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.

22The buds and branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.

23He also made its seven lamps, its wick trimmers, and trays of pure gold.

24He made the lampstand and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.

25He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns were of one piece.

26And he overlaid with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns. Then he made a molding of gold around it.

27He made two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.

28And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

29He also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense, the work of a perfumer.
