And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. The central shaft has four almond-blossom cups — one more than each branch. The central shaft that supports all six branches is more richly decorated than any individual branch: it bears four cups to each branch's three. The structural center is also the decorative center. The central shaft from which all the branches spring is the most abundant portion of the lampstand. John 15:5 says I am the vine; you are the branches — the central shaft of the lampstand from which all branches spring is the type of the Christ from whom all life-light flows to His people.
