EXODUS 37:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.”
Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. The almond-blossom cups on each branch — three cups per branch — are executed exactly as Exodus 25:33 specified. The almond blossoms signifying the first flowering of spring are repeated across the six branches plus the central shaft. Numbers 17:8 records Aaron's staff blossoming overnight as a sign of divine choice — the lampstand built with almond-blossom design and Aaron's budding staff both testify to the life that the priestly vocation channels.
