Exodus 25:28-38

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

33 tres scyphi quasi in nucis modum per calamos singulos spherulaque simul et lilium et tres similiter scyphi instar nucis in calamo altero spherulaque et lilium hoc erit opus sex calamorum qui producendi sunt de hastili

34 in ipso autem candelabro erunt quattuor scyphi in nucis modum spherulaeque per singulos et lilia

35 spherula sub duobus calamis per tria loca qui simul sex fiunt procedentes de hastili uno

36 et spherae igitur et calami ex ipso erunt universa ductilia de auro purissimo

37 facies et lucernas septem et pones eas super candelabrum ut luceant ex adverso

38 emunctoria quoque et ubi quae emuncta sunt extinguantur fient de auro purissimo
