And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. The four cups on the central shaft — one more than each branch — give the lampstand's center the richest decoration. The source of all the branches is more abundantly decorated than any individual branch. John 15:5 says I am the vine; you are the branches — the central shaft more richly adorned than its branches is the spatial type of the Christ from whom all life and light flow.
