Study note
Setting — The verse records the final assembly of the tabernacle’s lampstand during the construction of the sanctuary furnishings.
The words — מִקְשָׁה (mik.shah) translates literally as hammered work, and אַחַת ('a.chat) means one, specifying the material technique and unified form.
The thread — The construction method repeats Exodus 25:31, which commands the lampstand to be fashioned from a single piece of hammered gold.
Why it lands — The text states that every decorative element shares the lampstand’s base and shaft without joints, demanding precise observation of its unbroken, pure-gold composition before any theological application.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
The Hebrew words
King James Version
Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
