Exodus 37:17-22

17Then he made the lampstand (menorah) of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its [center] shaft; its cups, its calyxes, and its flowers were all of one piece with it.

18There were six branches coming out of the sides of the lampstand, three branches from one side of the center shaft and three branches from the other side of it;

19three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a calyx and a flower in one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, a calyx and a flower in the opposite branch—so for the six branches coming out of the center shaft of the lampstand.

20On the center shaft of the lampstand there were four cups shaped like almond blossoms, with calyxes and flowers [one at the top];

21and a calyx was under the first pair of branches coming out of it, and a calyx under the second pair of branches, coming out of it, and a calyx under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.

22Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it; all of it was a single hammered work of pure gold.
