You shall make a menorah of pure beaten gold—its shaft and branches—with its cups and knobs and petals springing directly from it.

Six branches are to extend from its sides, three branches on one side, and three on the other.

On one branch there are to be three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, each with its knob and petals; on the opposite branch there are to be three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, each with its knob and petals; and so for the six branches that extend from the menorah.

On the menorah there are to be four cups, shaped like almond blossoms, with their knobs and petals.

The six branches that go out from the menorah are to have a knob under each pair.

Their knobs and branches shall so spring from it that the whole will form a single piece of pure beaten gold.

You shall then make seven lamps for it and so set up the lamps that they give their light on the space in front of the menorah.

These, as well as the trimming shears and trays, must be of pure gold.

Use a talent of pure gold for the menorah and all these utensils.

See that you make them according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.
