Exodus 37:17–24

Making the Lampstand

^17aThen he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its ¹bulbs, and its flowers were ²of the same piece.

¹⁸There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the ¹other side of it;

¹⁹three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a ¹bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a ²bulb and a flower in the other branch—so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.

²⁰In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its ¹bulbs and its flowers;

²¹and a ¹bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a ²bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a ³bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.

²²Their ¹bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold.

²³He made its seven lamps with its tongs and its ¹trays of pure gold.

²⁴He made it and all its utensils from a ¹talent of pure gold.
