And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
He made the lampstand out of pure gold, hammering it into shape. The lampstand's base, branches, cups, buds, and flowers were all made from the same piece of gold.
This verse describes how the craftsman made the golden lampstand for God's tabernacle from one solid piece of pure gold, carefully hammered and shaped.
