The Golden Lampstand

³¹ “Then 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 ^[a]bulbs and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. ³² Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its ^[b]other side. ³³ Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a ^[c]bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the ^[d]other branch, a ^[e]bulb and a flower—so for six branches going out from the lampstand; ³⁴ and in the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its ^[f]bulbs and its flowers. ³⁵ A ^[g]bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a ^[h]bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a ^[i]bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. ³⁶ Their ^[j]bulbs 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 they shall ^[k]mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it. ³⁸ Its snuffers and ^[l]their trays shall be of pure gold. ³⁹ It shall be made from a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils.
