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.
21
Where each pair of branches joined the central shaft was a ring of outer leaves of one piece with the pair of branches -thus for all six branches.
22
Their rings of outer leaves and their branches were of one piece with the shaft. Thus the whole menorah was one piece of hammered work made of pure gold.
23
He made its seven lamps, its tongs and its trays of pure gold.
