Context of Exodus 25:32

30And you shall set the bread of the Presence on the table before Me continually. 31“Then you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand, its base and its shaft, are to be made of hammered work; its cups, its bulbs, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it. Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lampstand from its one side and three branches of the lampstand from its other side. 33Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms on the one branch, a bulb and a flower, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the other branch, a bulb and a flower--the same for six branches going out from the lampstand; 34and on the lampstand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its bulbs and its flowers.
