TSK · Numbers 8:4

You are to make two cherubim of gold; you are to make them of hammered metal on the two ends of the atonement lid.

Their buds and their branches will be one piece, all of it one hammered piece of pure gold.

The Making of the Lampstand He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered metal; its base and its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its blossoms were from the same piece.

The place where they serve is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says,“See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain.”
