36 The table, [and] all its vessels, and the show-bread,

37 The pure candlestick, [with] its lamps, [even with] the lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels, and the oil for light,

38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle-door,
