17 And he made the lampstand of pure gold; its base and shaft were made of hammered work; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers were of one piece with it. 18 There were six branches going out of the sides of the lampstand, three branches out of one side of it and three branches out of the other side of it; 19 Three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, each with a [calyx] knob and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the [opposite] branch, each with a [calyx] knob and a flower; and so for the six branches going out of the lampstand. 20 On [the shaft of] the lampstand were four cups made like almond blossoms, with knobs and flowers [one at the top]. 21 And a knob under each pair of branches, of one piece with the lampstand, for the six branches going out of it. 22 Their knobs and their branches were of one piece with it, all of it hammered work of pure gold. 23 And he made of pure gold its seven lamps, its snuffers, and its ashtrays. 24 Of a talent of pure gold he made the lampstand and all its utensils.
