34 And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds,
with their knops and their flowers.
35 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.
36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all of it shall be
one beaten work of pure gold.
37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light
the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure
gold.
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. 40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was
showed thee in the mount.
Exodus-26
The Tabernacle
1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine
twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of cunning work shalt thou make them.
The house must be a tabernacle or tent, such as soldiers now use in the camp, which was both a mean dwelling and a movable one; and yet the ark of God had not better, till Solomon built the temple 480 years after this, 1Ki 6:1. God manifested his presence among them thus in a tabernacle, in compliance with their present condition in the wilderness, that they might have him with them wherever they went. Note, God suits the tokens of his favour, and the gifts of his grace, to his people's wants and necessities, according as they are, accommodating his mercy to their state, prosperous or adverse, settled or unsettled. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, Isa 43:2.
