Context — Instructions for the Lampstandgenerated

34And on the lampstand there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals.
35For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.
36The buds and branches are to be all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
37Make seven lamps and set them up on the lampstand so that they illuminate the area in front of it.

Exodus 25:35 is part of a broader section where God gives Moses detailed instructions for the construction of the tabernacle and its furnishings. This verse specifically addresses the lampstand, emphasizing the importance of its design and the placement of the decorative bulbs, which are integral to its function and beauty. The lampstand symbolizes God's presence among His people, and its design reflects divine order and intention.


Cross References


The Key Word כַּפְתּוֹר, ve.khaf.Torgenerated

The word כַּפְתּוֹר (kaphtor) is a noun that refers to a decorative bulb or capital, often used in architectural contexts. It describes the ornamental feature on top of a column or the decorative elements of the lampstand. This word is derived from a root meaning to encircle, indicating its role in design and decoration.

In this verse, כַּפְתּוֹר is crucial for understanding the aesthetics of the lampstand. Each bulb is placed beneath the branches, highlighting the lampstand's intricate design, which serves both a functional and symbolic purpose in the tabernacle.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

In the Berean Standard Bible, the word כַּפְתּוֹר is translated as bud, while the KJV and ASV use knop, both capturing the decorative aspect of the bulb.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is implied in the structure, focusing on the placement of the bulbs under the branches. The sentence is organized around the lampstand, with several phrases detailing the arrangement of the bulbs beneath the pairs of branches.

The phrase structure emphasizes the systematic design: כַּפְתּוֹר is placed תַּחַת each pair of branches, highlighting the careful attention to detail in the lampstand's construction.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates כַּפְתּוֹר as σφαιρωτὴρ, which suggests a more rounded or bulbous form compared to the Hebrew term. This choice may indicate an interpretation that emphasizes the ornamental nature of the design.

This translation choice reflects a broader understanding of the lampstand's aesthetic qualities, aligning with the Greek tradition of decorative arts.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree closely in their wording for this verse, with the Septuagint maintaining the same essential structure. However, the Samaritan Pentateuch differs in two words: it uses יוצאים (go out) and מנורה (lamp stand), indicating slight variations in the text while preserving the overall meaning.
