The Golden Lampstand

³¹ “^(B)Then you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand, its base and its shaft, are to be made of hammered work; its cups, its ^[b]bulbs, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. ^32 (C)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 ^[c]other side. ^33 (D)Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms on the one branch, a ^[d]bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the ^[e]other branch, a ^[f]bulb and a flower—the same for six branches going out from the lampstand; ³⁴ and ^(E)on the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its ^[g]bulbs and its flowers. ^35 (F)A ^[h]bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a ^[i]bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a ^[j]bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. ^36 (G)Their ^[k]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 ^(H)they shall ^[l]mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it. ³⁸ Its tongs and its trays shall be of pure gold. ³⁹ It shall be made from a ^[m]talent of pure gold, with all these utensils.

⁵ “^(A)Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve ^[a]cakes with it; ^[b]two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. ⁶ And you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the ^(B)pure gold table before the Lord. ⁷ You shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it may be ^(C)a memorial portion for the bread, an offering by fire to the Lord. ^8 (D)Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the Lord ^(E)continually; it is an everlasting covenant ^[c]for the sons of Israel. ⁹ And ^(F)it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the Lord’s offerings by fire, his portion forever.”
