16 The vessels that were set on the table, its plates and cups, as well as its pitchers and bowls for pouring libations, were made of pure gold.
17 The menorah was made of pure beaten gold—its shaft and branches—with its cups and knobs and petals springing directly from it.
18 Six branches extended from its sides, three branches on one side and three on the other.
19 On one branch there were three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, each with its knob and petals; on the opposite branch there were three cups, shaped like almond blossoms, each with its knob and petals; and so for the six branches that extended from the menorah.
20 On the menorah there were four cups, shaped like almond blossoms, with their knobs and petals.
21 The six branches that went out from the menorah had a knob under each pair.
22 The knobs and branches so sprang from it that the whole formed but a single piece of pure beaten gold.
