35 the ark of the Testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat;

36 the table, all its utensils, and the showbread;

37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps (the lamps set in order), all its utensils, and the oil for light;

38 the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense; the screen for the tabernacle door;

39 the bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver with its base;
