Exodus 25:30-40 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. And you shall place upon the table the bread of the presence, in my sight always.

31. You shall also make a lampstand, formed from the finest gold, along with its stem and arms, its bowl and little spheres, as well as the lilies proceeding from it.

32. Six branches shall go out from the sides: three out of one side and three out of the other.

33. Three bowls, the size of nuts, shall be on each branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. And three similar bowls, in the likeness of nuts, shall be on the other branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. This shall be the form of the six branches, which are to proceed from the stem.

34. Then, in the lampstand itself, there shall be four bowls, the size of nuts, and each with little spheres and lilies.

35. Little spheres under two branches in three places, which together make six, shall proceed from one of the stems.

36. Thus both the little spheres and the branches shall be made out of the same thing: entirely formed from the purest gold.

37. You shall also make seven lamps, and you shall place them upon the lampstand, so that they may give light in every direction.

38. Likewise, the candle snuffers, and the place where the candles will be extinguished, shall be made from the purest gold.

39. The entire weight of the candlestick, with all its parts, shall hold one talent of the purest gold.

40. Observe, and then make it according to the example that was shown to you on the mountain."
