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. 38 And its tongs and [n]their trays shall be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made from a [o]talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 40 (H)And see that you make them (I)after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.

Instructions for the lampstand
31 Make a lampstand of pure hammered gold. The lampstand’s base, branches, cups, flowers, and petals should all be attached to it. 32 It should have six branches growing out from its sides, three branches on one side of the lampstand and three branches on the other side of the lampstand. 33 One branch will have three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a flower and petals, and the next branch will also have three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a flower and petals. So it will be for the six branches that grow out of the lampstand. 34 In addition, on the lampstand itself there will be four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its flower and petals. 35 There will be a flower attached under the first pair of branches, a flower attached under the next pair of branches, and a flower attached under the last pair of branches. So it will be for the six branches that grow out of the lampstand. 36 Their flowers and their branches will be permanently attached to it. The whole lampstand should be one piece of pure hammered gold. 37 Make its seven lamps and set up its lamps so that they direct their light in front of the lampstand. 38 You should also make its tongs and fire pans out of pure gold. 39 All these items should be made from pure gold weighing one kikkar. 40 See to it that you make them according to the blueprint for them that you were shown on the mountain.
