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 Six rods shall go out of the sides (of it), three (out) of the one side, and three (out) of the other.

33 Three cups as in the manner of a nut by each rod, and [the] little roundels together, and a lily, and in like manner three cups at the likeness of a nut in the tother rod, and (the) little roundels together, and a lily; this shall be the work of (the) six rods, that shall be brought forth [out] of the candlestick shaft. (And there shall be three cups shaped like almonds, and little balls, and a lily together on the first rod, and likewise three cups shaped like almonds, and little balls, and a lily together on the next rod; such shall be the metalwork for all six rods that shall come forth from the shaft of the lamp-stand.)

34 Forsooth in that candlestick shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and little roundels and lilies by each cup; (And on the shaft of the lamp-stand shall be four cups shaped like almonds, and little balls, and lilies, by all the cups;)

35 and the little roundels shall be under (each of) two rods by three places, the which rods altogether be made six, coming forth of (the) one shaft; (and a little ball shall be under each pair of rods, that is, in three places, which rods altogether be six, coming forth from the one shaft of the lamp-stand;)

36 and therefore the little roundels and the rods thereof shall be all beaten out with an hammer, of cleanest gold. (and so all the little balls and its rods shall be made out of pure gold, beaten out with a hammer.)
