text: Heb “from it”; the referent (“the same piece” of wrought metal) has been specified in the translation for clarity.


text: Heb “the one branch.” But the repetition of “one…one” means here one after another, or the “first” and then the “next.”

text: Heb “were from it.”


text: Heb “it”; the referent (the lampstand) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
