- Probably each branch of the chandelier was made like a plant in flower; and the opening of the flower was either the lamp, or served to support it. "And the thicknessª of it [was] an handbreadth,ª and the brimª of it like the workª of the brimª of a cup,ª with flowersª of lilies;ª [and] it receivedª° and heldª° threeª thousandª baths.ª" {2Ch 4:5} + "And thou shalt makeª° a candlestickª [of] pureª gold:ª [of] beaten workª shall the candlestickª be made:ª° his shaft,ª and his branches,ª his bowls,ª his knops,ª and his flowers,ª shall be¹ of¹ the same. ... And lookª° that thou makeª° [them] after their pattern,ª which¹ was shewedª° thee¹ in the mount.ª" {Exd 25:31-40} + "And in the candlestickª [were] fourª bowlsª made like almonds,ª° his knops,ª and his flowers:ª" {Exd 37:20} + "And the cedarª of¹ the houseª withinª [was] carvedª with knopsª and open²°¹ flowers:ª all¹ [was] cedar;ª there was no¹ stoneª seen.ª°" {1Kg 6:18} + "And he carvedª° all¹ the wallsª of the houseª round aboutª with carvedª figuresª of cherubimsª and palm treesª and open²°¹ flowers,ª within²¹¹ and without.ª" {1Kg 6:29} + "And he carvedª° [thereon] cherubimsª and palm treesª and open²°¹ flowers:ª and coveredª° [them] with goldª fittedª° upon¹ the carved work.ª°" {1Kg 6:35}
