Exodus 25:31-40

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Lampstand

³¹ You shall make a lampstand^[a] of pure gold. The lampstand is to be made of hammered metal. Its pedestal, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers are all to be formed as one piece with the lampstand. ³² There are to be six branches going out from its two sides: Three branches of the lampstand are to go out from one side, and three branches of the lampstand are to go out from the other side. ³³ There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and flowers on the first branch, and three cups like almond blossoms with buds and flowers on the branch opposite it. All six branches going out from the lampstand are to be the same. ³⁴ On the lampstand itself make four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and flowers. ³⁵ The bud under one pair of branches is to form one piece with the lampstand, and the bud under the second pair of branches is to form one piece with the lampstand, and the bud under the third pair of branches is to form one piece with the lampstand—the same for all six branches going out of the lampstand. ³⁶ Its buds and branches are to be made as one piece with it. All of it will be one hammered piece of pure gold.

³⁷ You shall make seven lamps for it, and these lamps shall be lit to give light to the area in front of the lampstand. ³⁸ Its wick trimmers and its pans^[b] are to be made of pure gold. ³⁹ It is to be made of seventy-five pounds^[c] of pure gold with all these accessories. ⁴⁰ See to it that you make them according to their design, which is being shown to you on the mountain.
