Exodus 37:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version
16 He made the vessels and the accessories for the table out of pure gold—its dishes,[a] its small bowls,[b] its larger bowls, and its pitchers[c] to pour out drink offerings.
The Lampstand
17 He made a lampstand[d] of pure gold. The lampstand was made of hammered metal. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were all formed as one piece with the lampstand. 18 There were six branches going out from its sides. Three branches of the lampstand went out from one side, and three branches of the lampstand went out from the other side.

- Exodus 37:16 Etymology suggests that a qe’ara is a deep dish or bowl, but some think it means platter.
- Exodus 37:16 The Hebrew word kaf refers to the palm of the hand, so it refers to a small bowl, spoon, or ladle.
- Exodus 37:16 The precise identification of the four types of vessels is uncertain. Jars and jugs are among the possibilities. Some rabbinic writers believed the utensils included molds for the bread and stands to separate the loaves. This and many other discussions in the rabbinic writings show that there was no consensus on the meaning of many terms in this section of Exodus.
