16
He made the utensils to be put on the table -its dishes, pans, bowls and pitchers - of pure gold.
17
He made the menorah of pure gold. He made it of hammered work; its base, shaft, cups, rings of outer leaves and flowers were a single unit.
18
There were six branches extending from its sides, three branches of the menorah on one side of it and three on the other.
19
On one branch were three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a ring of outer leaves and petals; likewise on the opposite branch three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a ring of outer leaves and petals; and similarly for all six branches extending from the menorah.
20
On the central shaft of the menorah were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its ring of outer leaves and petals.
