36You must make the flowers and the branches from the same piece of pure gold as the lampstand. Use a hammer to make the gold into the right shape. 37Then make seven lamps and fix them to the lampstand. Fix them so that they light the space in front of the lampstand. Also use pure gold to make small tools and dishes to take care of the lamps. 39Use 34 kilograms of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the tools to take care of it. 40Be careful to make all these things like the plan that I have shown you on the mountain.
