And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, etc.] According to Jarchi, from the middle of the knop (which was like a pomegranate, or, as others, like an apple) two branches were drawn from the two sides of it, here and there; so they teach in the work of the tabernacle, the height of the candlestick was eighteen hands’ breadth: this clause is repeated twice in this verse, signifying there should be a knop under each of the three branches on one side, and three on the other side: for it follows, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick; out of the trunk of it, as in (<022532>Exodus 25:32).
