Exodus 25:33-40 ▼

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] 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.
