The Altar of Incense^(A)

30 “Make an altar^(B) of acacia wood for burning incense.^{(C) 2} It is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high^[a]—its horns^(D) of one piece with it. ³ Overlay the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it.^(E)

The Table^(A)

¹⁰ They^[a] made the table^(B) of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.^{[b] 11} Then they overlaid it with pure gold^(C) and made a gold molding around it. ¹² They also made around it a rim a handbreadth^[c] 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^(D) 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.

The Lampstand^(E)

¹⁷ They made the lampstand^(F) 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. ²² The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.^(G)

²³ They made its seven lamps,^(H) as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. ²⁴ They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent^[d] of pure gold.

The Altar of Incense^(I)

²⁵ They made the altar of incense^(J) out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high^[e]—its horns^(K) of one piece with it. ²⁶ They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. ²⁷ They made two gold rings^(L) below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it. ²⁸ They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.^(M)

²⁹ They also made the sacred anointing oil^(N) and the pure, fragrant incense^(O)—the work of a perfumer.

⁸ He made ten tables^(A) and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold sprinkling bowls.^(B)
