He also made its seven lamps
on Exodus 37:23-24
The tabernacle has no window, so these seven lamps are the only light in the Holy Place. A lamp that burns continually needs its wick trimmers and trays. Zechariah 4:2 sees a solid gold lampstand with seven lamps.
This site's exposition
a talent of pure gold
The weight carries out 25:39. One talent of pure gold made the lampstand and every utensil used to tend it. Exodus 38:24 gives the total of all the gold used for the sanctuary.
