The
Lord
spoke to Moses:
2
“Speak to Aaron and tell him: When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps are to give light in front of the lampstand.”

So Aaron did this; he set up its lamps to give light in front of the lampstand just as the
Lord
had commanded Moses.
4
This is the way the lampstand was made: it was a hammered work of gold, hammered from its base to its flower petals. The lampstand was made according to the pattern the
Lord
had shown Moses.
