The lampstand was made from hammered gold, from its base to the flowers. It was made exactly the way the Lord had showed Moses.
Then hammer gold to make two creatures with wings, and put one on each end of the lid.
Build this Holy Tent and everything in it by the plan I will show you.
Set up the Holy Tent by the plan shown to you on the mountain.
Then Bezalel hammered gold to make two creatures with wings and attached them to each end of the lid.
Aaron did this, putting the lamps so they lighted the area in front of the lampstand; he obeyed the command the Lord gave Moses.
The Lord said to Moses,
The work they do as priests is only a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. This is why God warned Moses when he was ready to build the Holy Tent: “Be very careful to make everything by the plan I showed you on the mountain.”
So the copies of the real things in heaven had to be made clean by animal sacrifices. But the real things in heaven need much better sacrifices.
