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.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Candlesticks... lamps, that they should burn after the manner…
Candlesticks... lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle. Ten candlesticks, as we learn here and in ver. 7, supersede in Solomon"s temple the one candlestick, with its central shaft lamp, and the three branch lamps on either side of Moses and the tabernacle. (Exo_25:31-37 Exo_37:17-24; Lev_24:4; Josephus, "Ant.," 3:6. 7; Maimonides 1135-1205, "De.temple, vasis sanctuarii," etc.) This single candlestick was restored in Zerubbabel"s temple. The present ten candlesticks, or strictly candelabra, of Solomon are said at one time to have been placed in a row like a rail before the veil, and connected with a chain under which the high priest went on the Day of Atonement into the inner sanctuary. The removal of these candelabra is recorded Jer_52:19. The expression, "after the manner," points to the various and somewhat minute regulation for the lighting, trimming, and keeping alight of the lamps, all or some, of the candelabra (Exo_27:19-21; Lev_24:1-3) The use of the word for "lamp" (rne) in some passages (1Sa_3:3; 2Sa_21:17; Pro_13:9; Psa_18:29) suggests not the part as used for the whole in speaking of the candelabrum, but more probably that the perpetual burning was not of all seven lamps, but of one, the central shaft.
