Plans for the Lampstand

“Make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. Make the entire lampstand and its decorations of one piece—the base, center stem, lamp cups, buds, and petals.

Each of the six branches will have three lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.

Craft the center stem of the lampstand with four lamp cups shaped like almond blossoms, complete with buds and petals.

Then make the seven lamps for the lampstand, and set them so they reflect their light forward.

The lamp snuffers and trays must also be made of pure gold.

You will need 75 pounds of pure gold for the lampstand and its accessories.

Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side.

Light for the Tabernacle

“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.

The lampstand will stand in the Tabernacle, in front of the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning in the Lord’s presence all night. This is a permanent law for the people of Israel, and it must be observed from generation to generation.

“Every morning when Aaron maintains the lamps, he must burn fragrant incense on the altar.

And each evening when he lights the lamps, he must again burn incense in the Lord’s presence. This must be done from generation to generation.
