17. Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its bulbs and its flowers were of one piece with it.
18. There were six branches going out of its sides; three branches of the lampstand from the one side of it and three branches of the lampstand from the other side of it;
19. three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a bulb and a flower in the other branch-so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
20. In the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its bulbs and its flowers;
21. and a bulb was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.
22. Their bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold.
23. He made its seven lamps with its snuffers and its trays of pure gold.
24. He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold.
25. Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high; its horns were of one piece with it.
26. He overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around.
27. He made two golden rings for it under its molding, on its two sides-on opposite sides-as holders for poles with which to carry it.
28. He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
