Exodus 25:31-39
“ You shall make a lamp stand of pure gold. The lamp stand shall be made of hammered work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers shall be of one piece with it.There shall be six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side;three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand;and in the lamp stand four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lamp stand.Their buds and their branches shall be of one piece with it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.You shall make its lamps seven, and they shall light its lamps to give light to the space in front of it.Its snuffers and its snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these accessories.

Matthew 5:14-15
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.

Exodus 37:17-24
He made the lamp stand of pure gold. He made the lamp stand of beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were of one piece with it.There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side:three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand.In the lamp stand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold.He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, of pure gold.He made it of a talent of pure gold, with all its vessels.
