8. Showbread and Lampstand
Exodus 25:23-40 (KJV)
- Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
- And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
- And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
- And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
- Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
- And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
- And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.
- And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
- And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
- And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
- Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
- And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
- And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
- Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
- And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
- And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.
- Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.
- And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.
