2
He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.

18
Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other.

21
One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all.
