Exodus 25:33
Three cups as it were nuts to every branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily; and three cups, likewise of the fashion of nuts in the other branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily. Such shall be the work of the six branches, that are to come out from the shaft:

- Tres scyphi quasi in nucis modum per calamos singulos, sphærulaque simul, et lilium : et tres similiter scyphi instar nucis in calamo altero, sphærulaque simul et lilium. Hoc erit opus sex calamorum, qui producendi sunt de hastili :

- καὶ τρεῖς κρατῆρες ἐκτετυπωμένοι καρυίσκους· ἐν τῷ ἑνὶ καλαμίσκῳ σφαιρωτὴρ καὶ κρίνον· οὕτως τοῖς ἓξ καλαμίσκοις τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ἐκ τῆς λυχνίας.

Haydock's commentary
Cups. Hebrew, "cups which produce almonds or nuts;" that is three buds of flowers, out of which comes the stalk, as fruit does from the flower. The Hebrew, Greek, and Latin languages use the word chalice, or cup, for a flower full-blown. The height of this candlestick is undetermined; but it would not exceed five feet.
