Exodus 37:20

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

¹⁰He made the table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. ¹¹He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it. ¹²He also made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim. ¹³He cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners at its four legs. ¹⁴The rings were placed close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table. ¹⁵He made the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table and overlaid them with gold. ¹⁶He also made the utensils for the table out of pure gold: its plates and dishes, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings. 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.
