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