Then you are to make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold

on Exodus 25:31-36

The lampstand is “made of one piece,” base, shaft, cups, buds and petals, with nothing joined on. Its cups are “shaped like almond blossoms,” and the almond buds on Aaron's staff at Numbers 17:8 to settle the priesthood.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

Their knops and their branches shall be of the same,.... Of the same metal, gold, and of same mass: all of it shall be one beaten work of pure gold not made in parts, and then put and soldered together, but the whole candlestick in all its parts and branches were to be beaten out of one piece of gold.
