Exodus 25:31

You shall make a menorah [seven-branched candlestick] of pure gold; the menorah shall be made of hammered work, its base and its shaft. Its cups, its buds, and its flowers shall be made of one piece with it.
[In order to make hammered gold work, the metal must be heated to high temperatures. This means that the gold is not only processed but also purified and refined during the manufacturing process. It is an image of how God wants to shape us so that only what is valuable in us remains. The menorah is also an image of Jesus who says that he is the light of the world, see John 8:12. Another image that the menorah shows us is the Holy Spirit. The lamps require oil to shine. In the same way, we need the Holy Spirit to be able to be a light to our fellow human beings. The menorah is made like a tree with branches, pointing to what Jesus says in John 15 that he is the trunk and we are the branches. Just as the menorah must be made in one piece, we must be in Jesus—one with him. Paul also speaks of this when he describes the church as the body of Christ, 1 Cor. 12:27].
