20
On the main stem of the Lampstand, there were four cups shaped like almonds, with calyxes and petals,
21
a calyx extending from under each pair of the six branches.
22
The entire Lampstand with its calyxes and stems was fashioned from one piece of hammered pure gold.
23
He made seven of these lamps with their candle snuffers, all out of pure gold.
24
He used a seventy-five-pound brick of pure gold to make the Lampstand and its accessories.
