The Lampstand 17They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 18Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 19Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 20And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 21One bud was 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.

22The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. 23They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold.

24They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent That is, about 75 pounds or about 34 kilograms of pure gold.
