Exodus 37 — Context

16

And he made vessels for the diverse uses of the table, as well as the little cups, and bowls, and measuring cups, and the censers, from pure gold, in which the libations would be offered.

17

He also made the lampstand, formed from the finest gold. The branches, bowls, and little spheres, as well as the lilies, proceeded from its bar:

18

six on the two sides, three branches on one side, and three on the other.

19

Three bowls, the size of a nut, were on each branch, with little spheres and lilies, and three bowls, in the likeness of a nut, were on the other branch, with the little spheres together with the lilies. The workmanship of the six branches, which proceeded from the shaft of the lampstand, was equal.

20

Now on the shaft itself were four bowls, the size of a nut, and little spheres together with each one, and lilies,

21

and little spheres under two branches in three places, which together made six branches proceeding from one bar.

22

Thus, both the little spheres and the branches were from the same thing: all hand-worked from the purest gold.
