9574. 'A talent of pure gold shall [be used to] make it, together with all these vessels' means celestial good from which spiritual good together with its factual knowledge springs. This is clear from the meaning of 'a talent of pure gold' as one good from which all things spring, for 'a talent' means one, and 'gold' good, 9549; and 'vessels', which too must consist of the same good, means factual knowledge, 9557, 9559, 9560, 9563, 9564. For the meaning of 'vessels' in general as truths and factual knowledge, see 3068, 3079, 9394, 9544. Since good must be the all in everything that is brought forth and derived, so that celestial good must be in spiritual forms of good, and from these in factual knowledge, 9568, it therefore says that the lampstand shall be made from pure and solid gold, 9549, 9550; that the shaft, branches, cups, pomegranates, and flowers shall be of [one piece with] it, 9551-9554; and at this point that it shall be made, together with all its vessels, from a talent of pure gold.
