WISDOM AND SOUND ADVICE FROM THE TORAH

Make a lampstand of pure gold... base and shaft... The buds
and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand,

hammered out of pure gold... Its wick trimmers and trays are
to be of pure gold. A talent of pure gold is to be used for the
lampstand and all these accessories. (Exodus, 25:31-39)

For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold. Make
two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the
breastpiece. Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the cor-
ners of the breastpiece. (Exodus, 28:22-24)

And they made bells of pure gold and attached them
around the hem between the pomegranates. The

bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem
of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the Lord
commanded Moses. (Exodus, 39:25-26)
