And this work of the candlestick [was] of beaten gold,.... As it is also said to be; Exodus 25:31; and
unto the shalt thereof, unto the flowers thereof, [was] beaten work; of which, see Exodus 25:31;
according unto the pattern which the Lord had showed Moses; when on Mount Sinai with him:
so he made the candlestick; that is, ordered it to be made, and took care that it was made exactly to the pattern he had of it; otherwise Bezaleel was the artificer; and so the Targum of Jonathan here expresses him by name.
