³⁷ You shall make seven lamps for it, and ^(A)they shall arrange its lamps so that they ^(B)give light in front of it.

²⁰ The ^[a]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are ^(A)the ^[b]angels of the seven churches, and ^(B)the seven lampstands ^[c]which you saw are the seven churches.

^5 (A)The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, ^(B)the glory of the Lord filled the ^[a]temple.

⁶ Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while ^(C)a man stood beside me.
