Exodus 25:35 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 25:35

And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same
According to Jarchi, from the middle of the knop (which was like a pomegranate, or, as others, like an apple) two branches were drawn from the two sides of it, here and there; so they teach in the work of the tabernacle, the height of the candlestick was eighteen hands' breadth: this clause is repeated twice in this verse, signifying there should be a knop under each of the three branches on one side, and three on the other side: for it follows,

according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick;
out of the trunk of it, as in ( Exodus 25:32 ) .

Exodus 25:35 In-Context

33 three cups made like almonds, each with capital and flower, on one branch, and three cups made like almonds, each with capital and flower, on the other branch--so for the six branches going out of the lampstand;
34 and on the lampstand itself four cups made like almonds, with their capitals and flowers,
35 and a capital of one piece with it under each pair of the six branches going out from the lampstand.
36 Their capitals and their branches shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it one piece of hammered work of pure gold.
37 And you shall make the seven lamps for it; and the lamps shall be set up so as to give light upon the space in front of it.
