¹⁷Then^b he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold. He made it all of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its buds and petals. ¹⁸Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side. ¹⁹There were 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 was this way for the six branches that extended from the lampstand. ²⁰There were four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand shaft along with its buds and petals.
