12. A frame a handbreadth high was also put around it, with a molding of gold around the frame.
13. Four rings of gold were cast for it and fastened at the four corners, one at each leg.
14. The rings were alongside the frame as holders for the poles to carry the table.
15. These poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and plated with gold.
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.
