The sacred vessels

The seven-branched lamp-stand, hammered from a single talent of gold.

A gold-covered table with twelve loaves, set out every Shabbat.

A small square altar inside the Sanctuary for the morning and evening incense.

The great altar of whole stones in the courtyard, with its ramp on the south.

The bronze basin where priests washed before serving.

The fire-pan, the ladle and the vessels for clearing the inner altar and the Menorah.

Two hammered silver trumpets, sounded over offerings and at the pauses of the Levites' song.

Two silver bowls on the altar, one for wine and one, on Sukkot, for water.

Four garments for every kohen, eight for the High Priest, 'for splendour and for beauty'.

Present in the Mishkan and the First Temple; absent from the Second; unknown for the future.
