Exodus 25:22-32

22 inde praecipiam et loquar ad te supra propitiatorio scilicet ac medio duorum cherubin qui erunt super arcam testimonii cuncta quae mandabo per te filiis Israhel

23 facies et mensam de lignis setthim habentem duos cubitos longitudinis et in latitudine cubitum et in altitudine cubitum ac semissem

24 et inaurabis eam auro purissimo faciesque illi labium aureum per circuitum

25 et ipsi labio coronam interrasilem altam quattuor digitis et super illam alteram coronam aureolam

26 quattuor quoque circulos aureos praeparabis et pones eos in quattuor angulis eiusdem mensae per singulos pedes

27 subter coronam erunt circuli aurei ut mittantur vectes per eos et possit mensa portari

28 ipsosque vectes facies de lignis setthim et circumdabis auro ad subvehendam mensam

29 parabis et acetabula ac fialas turibula et cyatos in quibus offerenda sunt libamina ex auro purissimo

30 et pones super mensam panes propositionis in conspectu meo semper

31 facies et candelabrum ductile de auro mundissimo hastile eius et calamos scyphos et spherulas ac lilia ex ipso procedentia

32 sex calami egredientur de lateribus tres ex uno latere et tres ex altero
