Context of Exodus 37:22

20On the lampstand itself there were four cups in the shape of almond flowers and their leaves. 21There was one closed flower under the first pair of branches. There was a second closed flower under the second pair of branches. There was a third closed flower under the third pair of branches. So there were three closed flowers for the six branches. He made the flowers and the branches from the same piece of pure gold as the lampstand. He used a hammer to make the gold into the right shape. 23He used pure gold to make seven lamps for the lampstand, as well as the small tools and dishes to take care of the lamps. 24He used 34 kilograms of pure gold to make the lampstand and all its tools.
