[[#Verse 17.]] “You are to make an atonement lid of pure gold; its length is to be 45 inches, and its width is to be 27 inches.  [[#Verse 18.]] You are to make two cherubim of gold; you are to make them of hammered metal on the two ends of the atonement lid.  [[#Verse 19.]] Make one cherub on one end and one cherub on the other end; from the atonement lid you are to make the cherubim on the two ends.  [[#Verse 20.]] The cherubim are to be spreading their wings upward, overshadowing the atonement lid with their wings, and the cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the atonement lid.  [[#Verse 21.]] You are to put the atonement lid on top of the ark, and in the ark you are to put the testimony I am giving you.  [[#Verse 22.]] I will meet with you there, and from above the atonement lid, from between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you about all that I will command you for the Israelites. ## The Table for the Bread of the Presence [[#Verse 23.]]  “You are to make a table of acacia wood; its length is to be 36 inches, its width 18 inches, and its height 27 inches.  [[#Verse 24.]] You are to overlay it with pure gold, and you are to make a surrounding border of gold for it.  [[#Verse 25.]] You are to make a surrounding frame for it about three inches broad, and you are to make a surrounding border of gold for its frame.  [[#Verse 26.]] You are to make four rings of gold for it and attach the rings at the four corners where its four legs are.  [[#Verse 27.]] The rings are to be close to the frame to provide places for the poles to carry the table.  [[#Verse 28.]] You are to make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them. [[#Verse 29.]] You are to make its plates, its ladles, its pitchers, and its bowls, to be used in pouring out offerings; you are to make them of pure gold.  [[#Verse 30.]] You are to set the Bread of the Presence on the table before me continually. ## The Lampstand [[#Verse 31.]] “You are to make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand is to be made of hammered metal; its base and its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its blossoms are to be from the same piece.  [[#Verse 32.]] Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand, three branches of the lampstand from one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the other side of it.  [[#Verse 33.]] Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on the next branch, and the same for the six branches extending from the lampstand.  [[#Verse 34.]] On the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms,  [[#Verse 35.]] with a bud under the first two branches from it, and a bud under the next two branches from it, and a bud under the third two branches from it, according to the six branches that extend from the lampstand.  [[#Verse 36.]] Their buds and their branches will be one piece, all of it one hammered piece of pure gold. [[#Verse 37.]] “You are to make its seven lamps and then set its lamps up on it, so that it will give light to the area in front of it.  [[#Verse 38.]] Its trimmers and its trays are to be of pure gold.  [[#Verse 39.]] About seventy-five pounds of pure gold is to be used for it and for all these utensils.  [[#Verse 40.]] Now be sure to make them according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain. ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ###### Verse 27. ###### Verse 28. ###### Verse 29. ###### Verse 30. ###### Verse 31. ###### Verse 32. ###### Verse 33. ###### Verse 34. ###### Verse 35. ###### Verse 36. ###### Verse 37. ###### Verse 38. ###### Verse 39. ###### Verse 40. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
