ornamental knobs, and flowers shall be of one
piece. 32 And six branches shall come out of its
sides three branches of the lampstand out of one
side, and three branches of the lampstand out of
the other side. 33 Three bowls shall be made like
almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental
knob and a flower, and three bowls made like
almond blossoms on the other branch, with an
ornamental knob and a flower--and so for the six
branches that come out of the lampstand. 34 On
the lampstand itself four bowls shall be made
like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental
knob and flower. 35 And there shall be a knob
under the first two branches of the same, a knob
under the second two branches of the same, and a
knob under the third two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that extend from
the lampstand. 36 Their knobs and their branches
shall be of one piece all of it shall be one
hammered piece of pure gold. 37 You shall make
seven lamps for it, and they shall arrange its
lamps so that they give light in front of it. 38

pure gold. 39 It shall be made of a talent of
pure gold, with all these utensils. 40 And see to

meeting, Aaron shall be in charge of it from
evening until morning before the LORD
continually it shall be a statute forever in
your generations. 4 He shall be in charge of the
lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD
continually.
