Exodus 25:31-39

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Lamp Stand^(A)

³¹ “Make a lamp stand out of pure gold. The lamp stand, its base, and its shaft, as well as the flower cups, buds, and petals must be hammered out of one piece of gold. ³² Six branches are to come out of the sides, three branches on one side and three on the other. ³³ Each of the six branches coming out of the lamp stand is to have three flower cups shaped like almond blossoms, with buds and petals. ³⁴ The lamp stand itself is to have four flower cups shaped like almond blossoms, with buds and petals. ³⁵ There should be a bud under each of the three pairs of branches coming out of the lamp stand. ³⁶ The buds and branches should also be hammered out of the same piece of pure gold as the lamp stand.

³⁷ “Make seven lamps, and set them on the lamp stand so that they light up ⌞the area⌟ in front of it. ³⁸ The tongs and incense burners must be made of pure gold. ³⁹ Use 75 pounds of pure gold to make the lamp stand and all the utensils.
