Exodus 25:31-39
Christian Standard Bible
The Lampstand
31 “You(A) are to make a lampstand(B) out of pure, hammered gold. It is to be made of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its buds[a] and petals. 32 Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side. 33 There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a bud and petals, on the next branch. It is to be this way for the six branches that extend from the lampstand. 34 There are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand shaft along with its buds and petals. 35 For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches from it, a bud under the second pair of branches from it, and a bud under the third pair of branches from it. 36 Their buds and branches are to be of one piece.[b] All of it is to be a single hammered piece of pure gold.
37 “Make its seven lamps,(C) and set them up so that they illuminate the area in front of it. 38 Its snuffers and firepans must be of pure gold. 39 The lampstand[c] with all these utensils is to be made from seventy-five pounds[d] of pure gold.

New International Version
The Lampstand(A)
31 “Make a lampstand(B) of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 33 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 34 And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 35 One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. 36 The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.(C)
37 “Then make its seven lamps(D) and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. 38 Its wick trimmers and trays(E) are to be of pure gold. 39 A talent[a] of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories.
