17He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work; its base and its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its blossoms were of one piece with it.

18And six branches were coming out from its sides: three branches of the lampstand from its one side, and three branches of the lampstand from its second side.

19Three almond-blossom-shaped cups were on the one branch, with bulb and flower; and three almond-blossom-shaped cups were on one branch, with bulb and flower. So it was for the six branches coming out from the lampstand.

20And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers.

21and a bulb under two branches from it, and a bulb under two branches from it, and a bulb under two branches from it, for the six branches coming out from it.

22Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it; all of it was one hammered work of pure gold.

23He made its seven lamps, its tongs, and its firepans of pure gold.

24He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.
