The Lamp Stand(A)

31 “You are to make a lamp stand of pure gold: the lamp stand and its base and stem are to be of hammered work, and its cups, calyxes,[a] and flowers are to be of one piece with it. 32 Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lamp stand from one side of it and three branches of the lamp stand from its other side. 33 Three cups shaped like almond blossoms with calyxes and flowers are to be on one branch and three cups shaped like almond blossoms with calyxes and flowers are to be on the other branch, and so for the six branches extending from the lamp stand.

34 “On the lamp stand itself there are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms with their calyxes and flowers. 35 A calyx[b] is to be under the two branches that extend out of the stem;[c] a calyx is to be under the next pair of branches[d] that extend out of the stem;[e] and a calyx is to be under the last pair of branches[f] that extend out of the stem,[g] and so for the six[h] branches extending from the lamp stand. 36 Their calyxes and their branches are to be of one piece with it; all of it is to be made of one piece of hammered work of pure gold.

37 “You are to make seven lamps for it, and its lamps are to be mounted so as to give light in front of it. 38 Its tongs and trays are to be of pure gold. 39 The lamp stand[i]—together with all its furnishings—is to be made from a talent[j] of pure gold. 40 Now see that you make them according to the pattern for them which you are being shown on the mountain.”

The Lampstand(A)

31 “Make a lampstand(B) of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 33 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 34 And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 35 One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. 36 The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.(C)

37 “Then make its seven lamps(D) and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. 38 Its wick trimmers and trays(E) are to be of pure gold. 39 A talent[a] of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories. 40 See that you make them according to the pattern(F) shown you on the mountain.
