Exodus 25:30–39

³⁰Put the Bread of the Presence^f on the table before me at all times.

THE LAMPSTAND

³¹“You^g are to make a lampstand^h out of pure, hammered gold. It is to be made of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its buds^C and petals. ³²Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side. ³³There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on the next branch. It is to be this way for the six branches that extend from the lampstand. ³⁴There are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand shaft along with its buds and petals. ³⁵For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches from it, a bud under the second pair of branches from it, and a bud under the third pair of branches from it. ³⁶Their buds and branches are to be of one piece.^D All of it is to be a single hammered piece of pure gold.

³⁷“Make its seven lamps,ⁱ and set them up so that they illuminate the area in front of it. ³⁸Its snuffers and firepans must be of pure gold. ³⁹The lampstand^E with all these utensils is to be made from seventy-five pounds^F of pure gold.
