Exodus 37:15-22 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

15. He made the poles for carrying the table from acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

16. He also made the utensils that would be on the table out of pure gold: its plates and cups, as well as its bowls and pitchers for pouring drink offerings.

17. Then he made the lampstand out of pure hammered gold. He made it all of one piece: its base and shaft, its ornamental cups, and its calyxes and petals.

18. Six branches extended from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side.

19. There were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the first branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with a calyx and petals, on the next branch. It was this way for the six branches that extended from the lampstand.

20. On the lampstand shaft there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms with its calyxes and petals.

21. For the six branches that extended from it, a calyx was under the first pair of branches from it, a calyx under the second pair of branches from it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches from it.

22. Their calyxes and branches were of one piece. All of it was a single hammered piece of pure gold.
