 The Shū•lᵊkh•ânꞋ of LëkhꞋëm Pân•imꞋ (Most accurate depiction available as of 2019.01) |
Make, also, a Shū•lᵊkh•ânꞋ of acacia wood: ≈1 meter long x 50 cm w x 75 cm h. Gild the Shū•lᵊkh•ânꞋ in pure gold with a garland of gold, 1 hand wide, all around the top. Attach 4 gold rings to the outside of the legs, near the gilded garland border of the top, and make gilded poles to go through the rings to carry the Shū•lᵊkh•ânꞋ. Make platters, pans, pitchers and sacrificial-bowls to pour-out libation-offerings, all made of pure gold.
Then you shall provide LëkhꞋëm Pân•imꞋ on the Shū•lᵊkh•ânꞋ before Me perpetually.
Optional parental preparation:

25.25, hand tōphꞋakh (also tëphꞋakh) — Just as the cubit varied according to the individual's arm length, the ancient hand varied by the width of whomever's hand was used as the standard at that specific time. Today's archeological and rabbinic estimates are argued from various archeological construction sites. However, today's "hand" (as horses are measured) is as close as any – and far more familiar. The modern hand is 4 inches (≈10 cm). 
Questions you might anticipate that your child might raise and be prepared to discuss:
What is a platter?
What does perpetually mean?
