Context of Exodus 37:16
14The rings were close to the borders, as holders for the poles to carry the table. 15He also made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. He forged the articles that were on the table, the dishes, pans, bowls and jars, with which to pour, out of pure gold. 17Then he made the menorah of pure gold, of hammered work, even its base, its stem, its cups, its bulbs and its flowers, were one piece with it. 18There were six branches going out of the sides, three branches out of one side, and three branches out of the other.
