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 Give it six branches, three from one side and three from the other;
33 put three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on one branch, three on the next, and so on - the same for all six branches.
34 On the main stem of the Lampstand, make four cups shaped like almonds, with calyx and petals,
35 a calyx extending from under each pair of the six branches,
36 the entire Lampstand fashioned from one piece of hammered pure gold.
