The cherubim extended from the mercy seat itself on its two ends. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings. Their faces were turned toward one another, looking toward the mercy seat. 10 He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and one and a half cubits high. 11 He overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it. 12 He made a rim around it a handbreadth wide and added a gold molding to the rim. 13 He cast four gold rings for the table and attached the rings to the four corners of its legs. 14 The rings were placed near the frame as holders for the poles used to carry the table. 15 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold to carry the table. 16 He made the utensils for the table out of pure gold: its plates, its utensils, its bowls, and its pitchers for pouring drink offerings. 17 He made the lampstand of pure gold; it was hammered out, including its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers, all made as one piece. 18 Six branches extended from its sides: three branches of the lampstand on one side and three branches on the other. 19 Each branch had three cups shaped like almond blossoms, with a bud and a flower; this was true of all six branches extending from the lampstand. 20 The lampstand itself had four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with its buds and its flowers. 21 There was a bud under each pair of the six branches extending from the lampstand. 22 The buds and branches were all one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. 23 He made its seven lamps, its wick trimmers, and its trays of pure gold. 24 He made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold. 25 He made the altar of incense from acacia wood.

• Num 4:1-9 : 1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families and by their ancestral houses. 3 Count all those from thirty years old to fifty years old who come to serve in the work of the tent of meeting. 4 This is the work of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: caring for the most holy things. 5 When the camp prepares to set out, Aaron and his sons shall come and take down the curtain and cover the ark of the testimony with it. 6 They shall put over it a covering of fine leather, and spread a cloth of pure blue over that, and then insert its poles. 7 On the table of the presence they shall spread a blue cloth and place on it the plates, the dishes, the bowls, and the jars for the drink offering, and the continual bread shall remain on it. 8 They shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with a covering of fine leather, and insert its poles. 9 They shall take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, along with its lamps, tongs, firepans, and all the oil vessels used in its service. 10 They shall place it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on a carrying frame. 11 Over the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, cover it with a covering of fine leather, and insert its poles. 12 They shall take all the utensils used for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of fine leather, and put them on a carrying frame. 13 They shall remove the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth over it. 14 They shall put on it all the utensils used for serving at the altar—the firepans, the forks, the shovels, the basins—all the utensils of the altar. They shall spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert its poles. 15 When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all its furnishings as the camp sets out, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them, but they must not touch the holy things, lest they die. These are the tasks of the sons of Kohath regarding the tent of meeting. 16 The oversight of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, includes the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the regular grain offering, the anointing oil, the oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including its holy furnishings and utensils. 17 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 18 Do not let the tribe of the Kohathite clans be cut off from the Levites. 19 Do this for them so that they may live and not die when they approach the most holy things. Aaron and his sons shall go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry. 20 But the Kohathites must not go in to look at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die. 21 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 22 Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their ancestral houses and by their clans. 23 Count all men from thirty years old to fifty years old who are eligible to serve in the work of the tent of meeting. 24 This is the service of the Gershonite clans: working and carrying burdens. 25 They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting with its covering, the covering of fine leather that is on top of it, the screen for the entrance of the tent of meeting, 26 And the hangings of the courtyard, the screen for the entrance of the gate of the courtyard which surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, along with their cords, all their utensils for service, and everything assigned for their care—they shall serve. 27 Under the command of Aaron and his sons, shall be all the service of the Gershonites, all their burdens and all their work. You shall assign to them their responsibilities and duties. 28 This is the service of the Gershonite clans in the tent of meeting. Their responsibilities shall be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 29 Count the sons of Merari by their clans and by their ancestral houses. 30 Count all men from thirty years old to fifty years old who qualify to work in the service of the tent of meeting. 31 This is what they are responsible to carry as part of all their work in the tent of meeting: the frames of the tabernacle, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases. 32 Also the posts of the surrounding courtyard, their bases, tent pegs, cords, and all their utensils for service. Assign their responsibilities by name for everything they are to carry. 33 This is the work of the Merarite clans, as part of all their service in the tent of meeting. It is under the supervision of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 34 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their clans and by their ancestral houses, 35 from thirty years old to fifty years old, everyone eligible to work in the service of the tent of meeting. 36 Their number by their families was 2,750. 37 These are the counts of the Kohathite families, all those who served in the work of the tent of meeting. They were numbered by Moses and Aaron according to the LORD’s command through Moses. 38 The Gershonite men were counted by their families and by their ancestral houses. 39 From thirty years old to fifty years old, all those who were eligible to serve in the work of the tent of meeting were counted. 40 The total number of those counted by their families and their ancestral houses was 2,630. 41 These are the counts of the Gershonite families who served in the work of the tent of meeting. They were counted by Moses and Aaron according to the LORD's command. 42 The Merarite men were counted by their families and by their ancestral houses. 43 From thirty years old to fifty years old, all those who were eligible for service in the work of the tent of meeting were counted. 44 The total number of those counted by their families was 3,200. 45 These are the counts of the Merarite families who were numbered by Moses and Aaron according to the LORD’s command through Moses. 46 All those numbered by Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel were counted among the Levite clans by their families and by their ancestral houses. 47 From thirty years old to fifty years old, all those who were eligible for the work of serving and for carrying burdens in the tent of meeting were counted. 48 Their total number was 8,580. 49 Each man was assigned his work and his burden to carry, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they were numbered by Moses according to the LORD's command.

For around the outside of the house, he made offsets on the wall so that the beams would not be embedded in the walls of the house. 7 The house, when it was being built, was constructed of finished stone cut from the quarry, so that no hammer or axe or any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built. 8 The entrance to the lowest side chamber was on the south side of the house, with stairs going up to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third.

• Ezek 43:1-9 : 1 Then He brought me to the gate, the one that faces east. 2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. His voice was like the sound of mighty waters, and the earth shone with His glory. 3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when I came to destroy the city, and like the vision I had seen by the River Chebar. I fell on my face. 4 The glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate that faced east. 5 Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. 6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the house. 7 He said to me, 'Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place where the soles of my feet will rest, where I will dwell among the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their prostitution or the corpses of their kings at their high places.' 8 When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I consumed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away their prostitution and the corpses of their kings far from me, and I will dwell among them forever. 10 Son of man, explain the temple to the house of Israel, so that they will be ashamed of their sins. Let them measure the plan. 11 If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple—its layout, its exits and entrances, its entire form, all its statutes, all its designs, and all its instructions. Write it down in their sight, so they may observe all its design and all its statutes and carry them out. 12 This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple. 13 These are the measurements of the altar in cubits using the long cubit (a cubit and a handbreadth): The gutter, a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around the edge. This is the height of the altar. 14 From the gutter at ground level to the bottom ledge, it is two cubits high with a width of one cubit. From the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, it is four cubits high with a width of one cubit. 15 The altar hearth is four cubits high, and from the altar hearth, the four horns extend upward. 16 The altar hearth is twelve cubits long by twelve cubits wide; it is square at its four sides. 17 The ledge around the altar is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, square at its four sides, with a rim half a cubit high and a gutter of one cubit all around. Its steps face east. 18 Then He said to me, 'Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: These are the regulations for the altar on the day it is made, for offering burnt offerings and sprinkling blood on it.' 19 You are to give a bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are descendants of Zadok and who come near to minister before me, declares the Lord GOD. 20 You shall take some of its blood and apply it to the four horns of the altar, to the four corners of the ledge, and to the surrounding border. In this way, you shall purify it and make atonement for it. 21 Then take the bull for the sin offering, and burn it in the appointed place of the temple, outside the sanctuary. 22 On the second day, you shall offer a male goat without blemish as a sin offering, and they shall purify the altar as they did with the bull. 23 When you have finished purifying it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish and a ram without blemish from the flock. 24 You shall present them before the LORD, and the priests shall throw salt on them and offer them as a burnt offering to the LORD. 25 For seven days, you shall prepare a male goat daily as a sin offering. You shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock without blemish. 26 For seven days, they shall make atonement for the altar, purify it, and consecrate it. 27 When they have completed these days, from the eighth day onward, the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.
