The Lampstand

"Make a lampstand of pure, beaten gold. The entire lampstand and its decorations shall be one piece--the base, shaft, lamps, and blossoms. It will have three brances going out from each side of the center shaft, each branch decorated with three almond flowers. The central shaft itself will be decorated with four almond flowers--one placed between each set of branches; also, there will be one flower above the top set of branches and one below the bottom set. These decorations and branches and the shaft are all to be one piece of pure, beaten gold. Then make seven lamps for the lampstand, and set them so that they reflect their light forward. The snuffers and trays are to be made of pure gold. You will need about 107 pounds of pure gold for the lampstand and its accessories.

"Be sure that everything you make follows the pattern I am showing you here on the mountain."
