    In Exodus 25:33 and Exodus 25:34, the passive participle modifies cups specified for the branches and lampstand; the APB renders the clauses with “almond-shaped cups.” Exodus 37:19 and Exodus 37:20 use the same participial form in the construction description, again describing the cups on the branches and lampstand.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four verses, the APB presents the relevant cup descriptions as “almond-shaped cups.” This rendering confirms the clause-level description rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
