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 and there shall be six branches going out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it;

33 three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

34 On the lampstand itself there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with its calyxes and petals.

35 There shall be a calyx of one piece with it under the first pair of branches, a calyx of one piece with it under the next pair of branches, and a calyx of one piece with it under the last pair of branches—so for the six branches that go out of the lampstand.

36 Their calyxes and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one hammered piece of pure gold.
