Exodus 25:22-34 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

22. I will meet with you there, above the lid between the two creatures with wings. These are on the Ark of the Covenant. There I will give you all my commands for the Israelites.

23. “Make a table out of acacia wood. It must be 36 inches long, 18 inches wide and 27 inches high.

24. Cover it with pure gold. Put a gold strip around it.

25. Then make a frame three inches high that stands up all around the edge. Put a gold strip around the frame.

26. Then make four gold rings. Attach them to the four corners of the table where the four legs are.

27. Put the rings close to the frame around the top of the table. These rings will hold the poles for carrying the table.

28. Make the poles out of acacia wood and cover them with gold. Carry the table with these poles.

29. Make the plates and bowls for the table out of pure gold. Make the jars and cups out of pure gold. They will be used for pouring out the drink offerings.

30. On this table put the bread that shows you are in my presence. It must always be there in front of me.

31. “Hammer pure gold to make a lampstand. Its base, stand, flower-like cups, buds and petals must all be joined together in one piece.

32. The lampstand must have three branches on one side and three branches on the other.

33. Each branch must have three cups shaped like almond flowers on it. Each cup must have a bud and a petal.

34. And there must be four more cups made like almond flowers on the lampstand itself. These cups must also have buds and petals.
