Exodus 25:34 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 25:34

And in the candlestick shall be four bowls
That is, in the trunk or body of it; the branches had but three apiece, but this being larger had four: and these were also

made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers;
as the bowls on the branches had with them.

Exodus 25:34 In-Context

32 Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches of the lampstand from one side and three branches of the lampstand from the other side.

33 There are to be 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 is to be this way for the six branches that extend from the lampstand.

34 There are to be four cups shaped like almond blossoms on the lampstand [shaft] along with its calyxes and petals.

35 For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a calyx must be 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.

36 Their calyxes and branches are to be of one piece. All of it is to be a single hammered piece of pure gold.
