Exodus

Exodus 37:17–24

¹⁷Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold, all of one piece: its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals. ¹⁸Six branches extended from the sides, three on one side and three on the other. ¹⁹There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extended from the lampstand.

²⁰And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals. ²¹A bud was under the first pair of branches that extended from the lampstand, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair. ²²The buds and branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.

²³He also made its seven lamps, its wick trimmers, and trays of pure gold. ²⁴He made the lampstand and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.^e
