The Golden Lampstand

31 (A)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 [a]bulbs, and its flowers shall be [b]of the same piece. 32 (B)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 (C)Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a [d]bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the [e]other branch, a [f]bulb and a flower—so for the six branches going out from the lampstand; 34 and (D)in the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its [g]bulbs and its flowers. 35 (E)And 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 (F)Their [k]bulbs and their branches shall be [l]of the same piece; all of it shall be one piece of hammered work of pure gold. 37 Then you shall make its lamps seven in number; and (G)they shall [m]mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of it.
