The Gold Lampstand(A)
31 You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand and its base and its shaft are to be made of hammered metal. Its cups, its buds, and its flowers shall be of one piece. 32 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 other side. 33 Three cups shall be made shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms on one branch, and three cups made like almond flowers in the other branch, with buds and blossoms, and the same for the six branches that come out of the lampstand. 34 On the lampstand shall be four cups shaped like almond flowers, with their buds and their blossoms. 35 There shall be a bud under two branches of the same, and a bud under two branches of the same, and a bud under the next two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the lampstand. 36 Their buds and their branches shall be of the same piece, all of it shall be one hammered work of pure gold.
37 You shall make its seven lamps, and they shall light its lamps so that they may give light to the area in front of it. 38 Its snuffers and their snuff dishes shall be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made from a talent[a] of pure gold along with all these utensils. 40 See that you make them according to their pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.
