21. Three pairs of branches went out from the lampstand. A bud was under the place where each pair was attached to the lampstand. Each of the six branches going out from the lampstand was the same.
22. The buds, branches, and lampstand were all one piece of pure, hammered gold.
23. He made seven pure gold lamps for this lampstand, and he made pure gold wick trimmers and trays.
24. He used about seventy-five pounds of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that go with it.
25. Then he made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square—eighteen inches long and eighteen inches wide—and it was thirty-six inches high. Each corner that stuck out like a horn was joined into one piece with the altar.
26. He covered the top and all the sides and the corners with pure gold, and he put gold trim around the altar.
27. He made two gold rings and put them below the trim on opposite sides of the altar; these rings held the poles for carrying it.
28. He made the poles of acacia wood and covered them with gold.
29. Then he made the holy olive oil for appointing the priests and the pure, sweet-smelling incense. He made them like a person who mixes perfumes.
