Exodus 25:31-40

Amplified Bible

The Golden Lampstand

³¹ “You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The ^[a]lampstand and its base and its shaft shall be made of hammered work; its cups, its ^[b]calyxes and its flowers shall be all of one piece with it. ³² Six branches shall come out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand out of the one side and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side [the shaft being the seventh branch]. ³³ Three cups shall be made like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and a flower on one branch, and three cups made like almond blossoms on the other branch with a calyx and a flower—so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand; ³⁴ and in the [center shaft of the] lampstand [you shall make] four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with their calyxes and their flowers. ³⁵ A calyx shall be under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a calyx under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. ³⁶ Their calyxes 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 the lamps [of the lampstand] ^[c]seven in number [with one lamp at the top of the shaft]. The priests shall set up its seven lamps so that they will light the space in front of it. ³⁸ Its snuffers and their trays shall be of pure gold. ³⁹ It shall be made from a talent (50-80 lbs.) of pure gold, including all these utensils. ⁴⁰ See that you make them [exactly] after their pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.^(A)
