31 “aThen you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand and its base and its shaft are to be made of hammered work; its cups, its 1bulbs and its flowers shall be of one piece with it.

32 “aSix branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its 1other side.

33 “aThree cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a 1bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the 2other branch, a 1bulb and a flower—so for six branches going out from the lampstand;

34 and ain the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its 1bulbs and its flowers.

35 “aA 1bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a 1bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a 1bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.

36 “aTheir 1bulbs and their branches shall be of one piece with it; all of it shall be one piece of hammered work of pure gold.

37 “Then you shall make its lamps seven in number; and athey shall 1mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it.
